About the piece
Attributed to the Dutch school of the mid-17th century, this oil study captures the iridescent scales and varied textures of five flatfish. The composition uses a restrained earth-toned palette to emphasize the subtle highlights and fleshy presence of the subjects, reflecting the era's fascination with naturalistic observation. Its quiet dignity makes it a sophisticated addition to a traditional kitchen or dining space.
