The Cattle Market in Antwerp is a 1861 oil by Jan Stobbaerts, a Realism work, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
The painting depicts a bustling cattle market in Antwerp, with a group of people gathered around a large number of cows and bulls. The scene is set against a backdrop of buildings, with a cloudy sky above. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the atmosphere of the market, from the warm tones of the buildings to the cool tones of the sky. In the foreground, a man is shown leading a cow, while another man stands nearby, watching the scene unfold. The cattle are depicted in various poses, some standing, others lying down or walking. The overall effect is one of energy and activity, as if the market is in full swing. The painting is a great example of the work of Jan Stobbaerts, who was known for his genre scenes.
