The Fish Market is a 1659 oil on canvas painting by Adriaen van Ostade.[1] It has been described as a post-Rembrandtesque work from van Ostade's mature period, showing a major theme in Flemish painting, urban markets.[2]
It was bought by the Louvre Museum in 1801 during a public sale of paintings brought to Paris from Flanders and the Netherlands by Alexandre Joseph Paillet and Cloclers.[2] It is still held there as INV 1681.[2][3]
