Description: | Signed: yes Description: Market-stalls were a popular subject in mid-seventeenth-century Dutch painting. Quiringh van Brekelenkam painted a number of versions of the theme of the vegetable seller. The formula was created and repeated by other painters working in Leiden, such as Gerrit Dou, under whom Brekelenkam probably trained. In these images, the seller is represented half-length surrounded by foodstuffs which are rendered in detail. Brekelenkam focused on the isolated figure of the woman, avoiding any anecdotal or narrative element. The looser handling and fluent brushwork are characteristic of his early works depicting scenes of everyday life. | Subjects: | everyday life (market stall); trade and industry; still life (vegetables) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Brekelenkam, Quiringh van (Dutch painter, after 1622-1669 or after) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9033... | Go to resource |
