About the piece

In this 1861 work, Jan Stobbaerts captures the dense, earthy atmosphere of the Antwerp cattle market. The composition balances the heavy forms of the livestock with the figures and the looming historic architecture of the city, rendered in a sophisticated, muted palette characteristic of the period's realism.
