The Boy with a Basket of Fish by Giacomo Ceruti

The spider crab is a brown-red crustacean, a type of crab that lives in the Italian seas.

It is one of the fish featured in a painting of the Uffizi Galleries: "Boy with a Basket of Fish" by Giacomo Ceruti, a Lombard painter of the eighteenth century called Pitocchetto, from "pitocco" (i.e. "poverty-stricken person"), a nickname deriving from the humble people he used to portray in his paintings.
