A Poultry Seller,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating 18th-century drawing by Paul Sandby, transports us back in time to the bustling markets of England during the Romantic Era. The black-and-grey scene, created with pen and ink with watercolour over graphite on laid paper, depicts a poultry seller in the midst of his daily trade. Dressed in simple clothing, the man stands proudly with a basket of birds balanced on his head, his hands free to barter with potential customers. The market location is alive with activity, as other figures move about in the background, engaged in their own transactions or simply observing the scene. The use of contrasting colours – black, grey, and white – adds depth and texture to the illustration, while the intricate details of the birds, the seller's clothing, and the market scene itself showcase Sandby's exceptional artistic skill. This drawing is a testament to the rich heritage and culture of Britain during the eighteenth century, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of its people and the importance of trade and commerce. As a significant work of art from the Romantic Era, "A Poultry Seller" is a must-see addition to any art collection or exhibition. It can be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its historical significance, artistic merit, and enduring appeal.
