Visverkoper draagt vissen aan een juk Possibly 1772 - 1833

This etching, created by Mathias de Sallieth in the late 18th century, depicts a fishmonger carrying two fish on a yoke. De Sallieth, a Dutch artist known for his detailed portrayals of everyday life, captures the figure's weariness and the simplicity of the profession. The simple composition and realistic details of the figure, clothing, and fish highlight the artist's focus on capturing the essence of daily life in 18th-century Netherlands. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable document of social history, offering a glimpse into the lives of working-class individuals in the past.
