EDITORS COMMENTS
The Poultry Seller, painted by Willem van Mieris in 1733, captures a moment of trade and transaction in the 18th century Netherlands. The shopkeeper, dressed in a simple apron and waistcoat, gestures towards a dead rabbit displayed on his shop counter. His customer, a woman in a colorful dress, places coins on the windowsill next to a rabbit fur. The scene is filled with an abundance of animals - chickens, ducks, pheasants, and even a wading bird and a snipe - all hunted and ready for sale. The painting is a testament to the importance of animal husbandry and hunting in the Dutch economy during this period. The shopkeeper's shop is adorned with bas-relief sculptures of birds and game, adding to the overall atmosphere of the scene. The use of oil on panel technique gives the painting a rich, warm color palette, bringing the marketplace to life. The Poultry Seller is a significant work by Willem van Mieris, a Dutch painter known for his genre scenes of everyday life. The painting is now part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and is a reminder of the cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Europe during the eighteenth century.
