Straatverkoper verkoopt het tijdschrift Gil Blas c. 1900 - 1925

This ink drawing, created by the Monogrammist EK between 1900 and 1925, depicts a street vendor selling the newspaper "Gil Blas". The artist uses a loose, expressive style to capture the vendor's energetic pose, as he holds out a copy of the newspaper for passersby. The inscription at the bottom translates to "Here's Gil Blas, five centavos!", highlighting the common practice of street sales in the early 20th century. The artwork's small size suggests it may have been a sketch or study, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a street vendor in a bustling city.
