EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and bustling scene captured by Nicolaes Maes in the 17th century, we are transported to a lively vegetable market. The canvas print showcases a group of people gathered around a stall on a picturesque bridge, where an old woman skillfully sells her fresh produce. The focal point of the composition is a basket overflowing with large cabbages, creating an impressive display that catches the eye. As we explore the details of this artwork, our attention is drawn to other elements that add depth and charm to the scene. A wheelbarrow nearby holds abundant bunches of carrots and turnips, tempting passersby with their vibrant colors. On the left side of the painting, we see a mother holding her child in her arm while accompanied by a maid carrying a basket - perhaps they have come for their weekly shopping. On the right side, another woman can be seen accompanied by two children and even their loyal dog. It's evident that this vegetable market serves as not only a place for commerce but also as an opportunity for social interaction within the community. Nicolaes Maes expertly captures both the energy and daily routines associated with such markets through his masterful use of oil paint on canvas. This piece invites us to step back in time and appreciate how women played crucial roles in trade and commerce during this era.
