This etching by Quentin Pierre Chedel, titled "Selling Fish at Scheveningen" (1705-1762), depicts a bustling marketplace in Scheveningen, Netherlands. The scene is packed with figures, horses, and wagons, all engaged in the lively trade of buying and selling fish. The boats returning from the sea line the horizon, creating a sense of depth and emphasizing the source of the bounty.
