This painting depicts a group of men gathered around one who is holding a fish. The man holding the fish is dressed in a blue robe, while the others wear red, yellow, and white robes. In the background, there is a woman carrying a basket on her head, and a few other figures can be seen in the distance. The painting features a dramatic use of light and shadow, with the figures illuminated against a dark background. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure holding the fish. The painting is held at the National Museum in Warsaw.
