About this work

Fish and Shells by James Ensor, dated 1895, is an oil painting of a still life on a wooden table. A mackerel, a red mullet and a flatfish lie among scattered shells, beside a woven basket filled with straw, a green bowl and a dark jug, against a warm, loosely brushed reddish-brown ground. The signature and date appear in the lower right corner.
