“Dutch Breakfast” by Thomas Stuart Smith in the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum, Stirling

This is one of Smith’s finest still life paintings. In the style of the Dutch masters, this work demonstrates his skill in composition and in handling colour and light, reflected in the shiny smoked skins of the fish and the red flagon.
