At the Flower Market 1878

Victor Gabriel Gilbert’s 1878 painting “At the Flower Market” depicts a bustling Parisian flower market, where a woman in a long dress peruses the flowers while a vendor stands behind his stall. Gilbert was known for his genre scenes, which capture daily life with a naturalistic style. This painting captures the vibrant energy of the market, with the colorful flowers and the bustling figures creating a sense of movement and life. The inclusion of a sign that reads “FLEURS” further emphasizes the subject of the painting.
