Still-Life of Fish

-
Oil on canvas, 153 x 269 cm
Private collection

The painting shows a still-life of fish, oysters, a crab and a lobster with cats, a tub, a copper dish and bucket and baskets at the foot of a draped column. In the background a quay and a castle by the sea can be seen. This large scale and richly coloured composition was probably produced for the private home of a patron connected to the fish trade.
