About the piece

Painted in 1878 by Xavier Mellery, this oil on panel work depicts a serene moment of daily life in Marken, Netherlands. The warm, tonal palette highlights the textures of the wooden walls, delftware plates, and the delicate play of light from the window onto the figures engaged in their crafts.
