## Commentary

Van Beyeren, a specialist in fish still-lifes, has placed this still-life in a visual context which is based on Flemish examples. He opens the imaginary window of the booth to show the place where this plethora has been caught - the sea and the fishermen who are hauling in the next catch on the beach.
