About the piece

Painted in 1837 by Jørgen Sonne during the Danish Golden Age, this genre scene depicts Roman peasants readying for market. The composition is rich with narrative detail, from the textured stone architecture and oxen-drawn cart to the charming interactions between figures, all bathed in the warm, luminous light of the Italian countryside.
