About the piece
Painted in 1827 by Ignace Brice, this exquisite genre scene depicts a playful encounter between a poultryman and a woman at a market. The man, rendered with expressive character, presents a bird while the woman holds a basket brimming with fresh garden produce like leeks and radishes. Brice’s meticulous technique is evident in the textures of the lace, feathers, and vegetables, creating a window into 19th-century European life.
