EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Herring-Seller herring saleswoman young woman" we are transported to a bustling street scene in the 17th century. The image depicts a young woman, identified as the herring saleswoman, skillfully balancing a tub filled with freshly caught fish. Her vibrant presence is juxtaposed against the frail figure of an old woman leaning on her cane, eagerly inspecting the selection. The setting is at the doorstep of a charming house, where a wooden table adorned with an earthenware pot rests on the right side. This simple yet picturesque arrangement adds depth and authenticity to Gabriel Metsu's masterful composition. The artist's name is discreetly mentioned on one of the objects present in this scene. Metsu's attention to detail shines through his use of oil paint on panel, capturing every nuance and texture with remarkable precision. The colors are rich and vivid, bringing life to each element within the frame. This print offers us a glimpse into everyday life during this era - where commerce thrived amidst cobblestone streets and close-knit communities. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation that transports us back in time
