Drie zoutwater vissen op het strand 1664

"Drie zoutwater vissen op het strand" (Three saltwater fish on the beach) is an etching by Albert Flamen, created in 1664. The detailed black and white image showcases three fish, two laid out on a sandy shore and one lying partly in the water. This realistic depiction of the fish, along with the boats in the distance, suggests the artist's interest in naturalism and the everyday life of fishermen. This etching, likely meant for a broader audience interested in both the natural world and maritime life, exemplifies Flamen's skill in rendering detail and capturing the textures of both fish and sand.
