Wälsche Würste kauft! (Sausage Seller) is a 1775 ink by Carl Conti, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a man in old-fashioned clothes selling sausages. He’s pointing at a string of sausages hanging from his hand, while a basket of more sits on a small table. His hat is tilted, and he looks like he’s smiling at someone. The text at the bottom says *"Wälsche Würste kauft!"*—German for "Buy sausages!"—so this is a street vendor. The artist used lines to show light and shadow, making the scene look real. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this create detailed prints.
