The painting analyzed here constitutes an interesting testimony to be placed side by side with the best and typical production made by Elena Recco, as underlined in the book Nature morte del seventeenth and eighteenth century (Edited by Patrizia Consigli Valente, Parma, 1987, pp. 10-11) . The foreground arrangement of fish, through abundant construction, is found in some of her happiest sages. In the composition under analysis, the distinctive characteristics of Recco's production are fully found: the support surface contains the fish on display, immersed in a muted but diffused light coming from the landscape behind. The fish in the foreground have the peculiar characteristics of his works: the particular pink, green and blue-gray hues of the scales, combined with a sparkling vitality of the prey just caught, which shine with silver reflections, denouncing their vitality, expressed by the brightness of the eyes, large and open, and of the contortions of the bodies.
