Gezicht op de Oude Vismarkt in Antwerpen 1841

Egidius Linnig's 1841 etching, "Gezicht op de Oude Vismarkt in Antwerpen," is a detailed portrayal of the Old Fish Market in Antwerp. The etching features a prominent statue of a woman with a child in her arms, likely a religious figure, which stands prominently in the square. In the background, a large archway, potentially an entrance to a building, is surrounded by smaller structures with market stalls. The scene is bustling with activity, with a group of men gathered around a barrel in the foreground. Linnig's etching captures the daily life of the Antwerp fish market, offering a glimpse into the city's history and the significance of this vibrant public space.
