Genre Scenes Pair of oils on copper.
19th century Flemish School
19th century stucco frame, gilded with gold
H. 24.5 x W. 17.5 cm
The two scenes show the poultry seller and the poultry seller. After the two pendants by Gabriel Metsu (1629-1667), kept at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden.
Metsu brilliantly depicted the popular life of markets and taverns, while contrasting with scenes from the life of the wealthy classes and their salons, thus demonstrating great diversity in his work. Influenced by Rembrandt, he applied the principles of light and shadow to a variety of subjects, creating group scenes or portraits in varied environments, with a remarkable attention to the texture of fabrics, comparable to that of Gerard ter Borch and De Hooch.
