Marchand de Charbon Turc is a 1850 watercolor by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a man walking with a huge bundle of charcoal on his back. He’s wearing a red-green striped hat, a brown coat, blue pants, and simple shoes. His head is down, like he’s focused on the weight he’s carrying. The charcoal looks heavy, and his posture shows the strain. The artist used quick, loose strokes—no fancy details, just everyday life.

A Turkish coal merchant is depicted in this 1850 painting by an unknown artist. The work was purchased in Salisbury in December 1976 for £2.50.
