About this work

This painting shows a messy table with fish, a glass bottle, and a few other objects. The colors are dull and muddy, with some dark shadows and bright spots. Brushstrokes are thick and uneven, making the scene look rough. The artist used a lot of paint in some spots, giving it a textured, almost 3D look. This is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly. Check out more about the technique: impasto to see how it works.
