About the piece

Painted in 1673 by Emanuel de Witte, this work captures the daily commerce of the Nieuwe Vismarkt in Amsterdam. The composition is defined by dramatic chiaroscuro, with a somber palette highlighting the textures of the fish and the expressions of the figures gathered beneath the market's dark wooden awning.
