Vier blankvoornen bij een visnet 1664

"Vier blankvoornen bij een visnet" (Four Roach by a Fishing Net) is an etching created by Albert Flamen in 1664. The image depicts four roach fish lying on the ground near a fishing net, with a picturesque background showing a Dutch village and river. The detailed rendering of the fish, with their scales and fins, highlights Flamen's skill in capturing natural detail. The etching serves as both a scientific study of the roach and a glimpse into the everyday life of 17th-century Dutch society.
