In the Stock Exchange 1891

Ferdinand Brütt’s 1891 painting "In the Stock Exchange" captures the bustling atmosphere of a financial marketplace. The scene, set in a grand interior, depicts a crowd of men in suits engaged in intense conversation and negotiation. Brütt's loose brushwork and use of muted tones create a sense of energy and movement, reflecting the frenetic pace of the stock exchange. "In the Stock Exchange" is a powerful depiction of the social and economic forces at play in the late 19th century, and is now housed in the Städel Museum.
