More about this artwork

We are delighted to feature the striking artwork titled "Vissen in een kom" (Fish in a Bowl) by Dutch artist Willem Pothast. Created sometime between 1887 and 1916, this piece is a notable example of Pothast's keen attention to detail and his ability to imbue a simple subject with palpable texture and visual interest.The artwork depicts a round, suspended fishbowl containing two fish, seemingly floating effortlessly within the confines of their watery home. The bowl, elegantly held by a chain linked to a ribbon-tied loop above, showcases Pothast's intricate workmanship. The delicate folds of the ribbon and the robust links of the chain contrast beautifully with the smooth, organic forms of the fish.In "Vissen in een kom," Pothast plays with elements of confinement and freedom, bringing into focus the paradox of being bound within a seemingly transparent and limitless environment. The fish, rendered with meticulous care, evoke a sense of dynamism and life despite their enclosed space. Their detailed scales and fins are accentuated against the stippled texture of the water, capturing light and shadow in a dance that breathes life into this monochromatic piece.
