This painting has a pendant with the same title. The pictures are the result of a collaboration of Jan Pauwel Gillemans the Younger and Pieter Rysbrack (1655-1729). Gillemans painted the still-life, while Rysbrack the landscape. The paintings are signed on the stone bases left and right, respctively: J.P. Gillemans.
An interesting detail in this painting is the fish fountain. These sculptures had become increasingly popular in the late seventeenth century and appear on other paintings by Jan Pauwel Gillemans the Younger too. In the Netherlands a couple of these fountains have been preserved, remarkably, both designed by the architect Jacob Roman.
