Poultry Market

About this work

This painting shows a bustling outdoor market scene. In the foreground, a woman in a white shirt and blue apron holds a chicken by its legs, while a young girl in a red and black plaid shirt stands beside her, holding a basket. The ground is littered with straw and feathers. The market is filled with people of all ages, dressed in traditional clothing, gathered around the woman selling the chicken. In the background, there are several buildings, including a large white house with a chimney. The painting is rich in detail and color, capturing the vibrant atmosphere of the market. It's a great example of a genre scene, depicting everyday life in a specific time and place. To learn more about this style of painting, check out the work of artist Lajos Deák Ébner.
