About the piece

Painted in 1897 by Belgian artist Henri Evenepoel, this work depicts a poulterer at work amidst the varied textures of a Parisian market. The artist uses a subdued, earthy palette and expressive, textured brushwork to elevate a moment of everyday toil into a compelling study of light and character typical of the late 19th-century Post-Impressionist influence.
