Travelling salesman is a 1716 oil by Krzysztof Lubieniecki, a Barbizon school work, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting depicts a lively scene of a group of people gathered around a salesman. The group consists of a woman, a child, and a man, all of whom are engaged in various activities. The woman is holding a pair of glasses, while the child is looking up at her. The man, dressed in a blue coat and hat, is holding a small box and appears to be offering it to the woman. In the background, there are trees and a cloudy sky, which adds to the sense of atmosphere and setting. The overall mood of the painting is one of warmth and interaction, as the group seems to be enjoying each other's company. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting adds depth and dimension to the scene, highlighting the textures and details of the figures and their surroundings.
Krzysztof Lubieniecki or Christoffel Lubienietzky (1659–1729) was a Polish Baroque painter and engraver active in Amsterdam during the Dutch Golden Age.
