Johannes Jelgerhuis's "The small Fish Market on the Corner of the Brouwersgracht and Singel, Amsterdam" (1826) depicts a bustling scene in the Dutch capital. This oil-on-canvas painting captures the daily life of Amsterdam's fish market, with a crowd of people gathered under a series of market stalls. The scene is framed by the waterfront, showcasing the iconic canal system, and is further characterized by the imposing cityscape in the background. This work is a testament to Jelgerhuis's skill in depicting urban life and is representative of 19th century Dutch realism.
