EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a vivid scene from 18th century Russia, showcasing the life of a kvass vendor. Painted by Christian Gottfried Heinrich Geissler as part of his series "The Moscow Merchants" this artwork provides a glimpse into the bustling streets of that era. Kvass, an alcoholic beverage made from black rye or rye bread, was popular among the locals. In this image, we see a German street trader standing proudly with his jug and cup in hand, ready to serve his customers. His traditional attire reflects both his occupation and the fashion trends of the time. The vibrant colors of his dress and hat add depth to the composition while highlighting the cultural diversity present in 18th century Moscow. Geissler's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of ink and watercolor used to create this masterpiece. The artist masterfully captures not only the physical appearance but also the spirit and essence of this hardworking man's profession. Now housed in the Museum of Private Collections at A Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, this fine art image serves as a reminder of our rich historical heritage. It allows us to appreciate not only Geissler's talent but also offers insight into daily life during that period – where trade thrived on street corners like these, connecting people through their shared love for beverages like kvass.
