The painting is undoubtedly to be considered one of the highest quality compositions in Crivellino's production (F. Arisi, 2004, p. 345). Dated by Arisi between 1720 and 1730, the work has a strong stylistic relationship with the two famous canvases in the Cova Minotti collection in Milan, among the most important created by the artist, depicting Fish and crustaceans on the seashore and Fish, wild animals, owl, snail and ovules (for comparison see F. Arisi, 2004, pp. 512 and 513, no. 70 and 71). The dialogue appears particularly stringent especially with the second one (F. Arisi, 2004, n. 71), in which we find some passages also present in the work offered in the lot (the net, the owl, the frog, the wooden tub), repeated in a completely similar way almost as if to create a variant of the same theme.
