About this work

In the painting, a butcher is shown standing in front of a table, wearing a blue jacket and white apron. He is cutting meat with a knife, and there is a bowl of red liquid on the floor next to him. The background of the painting appears to be a market, with other people and stalls visible. The butcher's clothing and the setting suggest that the painting is depicting a scene from everyday life. The use of earthy tones and the focus on the butcher's work create a sense of realism.
