Boekhandelaar naast zijn boekenkraam op een kade c. 1900 - 1934

Pierre Comba's "Boekhandelaar naast zijn boekenkraam op een kade" (c. 1900-1934) depicts a street vendor selling books. Drawn in a realistic style using black ink and graphite on paper, the artwork captures the bustle of daily life in early 20th century France. The bookseller's posture and the sign advertising "Romans fin de siècle" (fin-de-siècle novels) hint at the era's social and cultural trends. This small yet detailed drawing offers a glimpse into the world of street vendors and the rise of modern literature.
