Straatverkopers te Parijs Possibly 1832 - 1833

Victor Adam's "Straatverkopers te Parijs" (Street Vendors in Paris) depicts a series of vignettes, capturing the bustle and diversity of street life in 19th-century Paris. The watercolor and gouache artwork portrays various vendors selling goods, from newspapers and trinkets to fish and brooms. Adam's detailed depiction of both the vendors and their customers provides a glimpse into the social and economic dynamics of Parisian street life during this period. The work is an excellent example of genre painting, focusing on everyday scenes and activities, making it relatable and engaging for audiences. The Rijksmuseum houses this small-scale artwork, measuring 424 mm in height and 262 mm in width.
