About the piece

Painted in 1886 by Florent Willems, this work masterfully recreates a 17th-century market interior. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the textures of the woman's velvet cloak, the vendor's rugged attire, and the naturalist depiction of the hanging game and attentive hound, reflecting the influence of the Dutch Golden Age.
