About this work

You see a busy street stall piled with cabbages, carrots, and baskets of fruit. A woman sits between the baskets with two kids; customers lean in to pick what they want. A man sells birds nearby, and another vendor carries a tray of goods down the road. This painting was made for the shop itself—like a 17th-century ad. The sign above the stall reads “De Buyskool,” the shop’s name. It’s rare to see everyday life painted so plainly, without kings or angels. To see more scenes like this, visit the Rijksmuseum.
