As teenagers in France say these days: "Ils sont trop beaux"!!! -- which is a hyperbole to express admiration. An appropriate translation might be: "They are too beautiful for words." The blue stripe of the napkin or table cloth is exquisite, and brings out the silvery colorings of what is interestingly called a "golden fish."

Joyce, In (UK) English they are known as Gilt Head Bream.

I'm not usually a fan of fish paintings but the silvery light of these is so nice, so gleaming, especially against the matte folds of the table cloth!
