"Pottery Peddler," an etching created by Anne Claude Philippe Caylus in 1738, depicts a young girl sitting on the ground with a basket of pottery beside her. The girl, wearing a hood, carefully examines a piece of pottery, reflecting the craftsmanship and value of this trade. Caylus, known for his interest in antiquities, captures the essence of the peddler's life in this detailed portrayal. The artwork is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
