Drie schelvissen op het strand 1664

"Drie schelvissen op het strand" is an etching by Albert Flamen, a Dutch artist active during the 17th century, depicting three fish lying on a sandy shore. This realistic depiction of the catch, most likely codfish, is characteristic of Flemish still life paintings of the time. The scene's focus is on the detailed portrayal of the fish's scales and textures, which are accentuated by the use of hatching techniques in the etching. With its detailed rendering of the fish and subtle background, Flamen's artwork exemplifies the precision and attention to detail of Dutch still life art in the 17th century.
