The following technical sheet of the work was created by Professor Sandro Bellesi as part of the inventory of the paintings of the Fattoria Franceschini.
The painting, in a poor state of conservation mainly due to the clouding of the protective patina, presents, within an indefinite space, a composition with shells and fish, among which it is possible to identify some mullet. Based on the author's name written in the lower left corner, which is not easily legible today, it seems only right to assign the work to a Flemish or Dutch artist, unfortunately not identifiable at the moment. While recalling the Flemish-Dutch art of the mid-seventeenth century in the pictorial treatment and definition of fish, the canvas also attests to references to Italian naturamortist painting, finding stringent assonances essentially in the works of Felice Boselli and some Neapolitan masters such as Giovan Battista and Giuseppe Recco.
