EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Poultry Seller poulterer Stone window poulterer points" we are transported back to the bustling streets of 18th-century Netherlands. The scene unfolds within a quaint stone window, where a skilled poulterer directs our attention towards a lifeless hare, symbolizing man's dominion over nature. To the left of the frame, a young woman gracefully distributes coins to purchase these delectable offerings. The display on the windowsill showcases an array of game and poultry, enticing passersby with their succulent appeal. As our gaze extends beyond the immediate foreground, we catch glimpses of other vendors and shoppers engaging in their daily routines. The intricate bas-relief adorning the lower part of the window depicts mischievous putti reveling in a bacchanal celebration. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that amidst everyday tasks like marketing and household management, there is still room for joyous festivities. Willem van Mieris masterfully captures this snapshot in time through his meticulous use of oil paint on panel. Every detail comes alive under his brushstroke, from the textures of feathers to subtle expressions on faces. This remarkable piece from Liszt Collection transports us into an era long gone but immortalized through art. It invites contemplation about humanity's relationship with nature and how commerce intertwines with our daily lives.
