"Fish, Crabs, Mussels, an Artichoke, a Copper Pot and a Cat on a Table" is a still life painting by Flemish artist Adriaen van Utrecht, created in the 17th century during the Baroque period. Adriaen van Utrecht (1599–1652) was known for his sumptuous banquet still lifes, market scenes, and vanitas paintings, which often featured an abundance of objects to symbolize the transience of life and the futility of pleasure.

This particular painting is a fine example of van Utrecht's skill in depicting a variety of textures and surfaces, from the shimmering scales of fresh fish to the roughness of crabs' shells and the smooth, pearly interior of mussel shells. The composition includes an artichoke and a gleaming copper pot, adding to the diversity of forms and materials represented. A cat, often a symbol of domesticity and sometimes of sensuality or deceit in art, is included on the table, providing a narrative element and a sense of life to the otherwise inanimate scene.

The artwork reflects the era's fascination with the natural world and the burgeoning field of natural science, as well as the wealth and global trade that brought such diverse items to European tables. Van Utrecht's meticulous attention to detail not only serves to showcase his artistic talent but also provides insight into the cultural and economic context of the time.

As a still life, "Fish, Crabs, Mussels, an Artichoke, a Copper Pot and a Cat on a Table" exemplifies the genre's themes of abundance, vanitas, and the detailed observation of everyday objects. The painting invites viewers to consider the beauty of the mundane and the complex interplay between nature and human-made objects. It remains an important work for the study of Northern European still-life painting and offers a window into the visual culture of the Baroque period.
