The authorship of this impressive still life remains a mystery. We are grateful to Dr. Fred G. Meijer for noting that the artist appears to have been inspired by the work of the Antwerp-based still life painter, Adriaen van Utrecht. Van Utrecht's Fishmonger's Stall in the Museum of Fine Arts, Ghent,1 features many similar compositional elements such as the full picture plane, the frieze-like hanging fish at the upper margin, and the inclusion of a distant landscape at the far left.
