About the piece

Created in 1910 by Catalan artist Isidre Nonell, this still life showcases a humble arrangement of a herring and vegetables. The composition is defined by thick, textured brushwork and a deep palette of umber and sienna, reflecting the artist's move toward more grounded, naturalist subjects later in his career.
