The painting shows a still life of fish and other food on a table. The table has a white cloth on it, and there are various types of fish, including a large lobster and some smaller fish. There are also some vegetables, like lettuce and onions, and a few other items, like a plate and a glass. The painting is done in oil paint, and the colors are muted, with lots of browns and grays. The lighting is soft, and the overall effect is one of calmness and serenity.
