The Seller Of Roasted Chestnuts - Flemish Master Bamboozler
The seller of roasted chestnuts - Flemish master bamboozler
The night scene is probably that of a market where several groups of people gather. On the left is a roast chestnut seller surrounded by children and other young people huddling around the warmth of the fire. In the centre a man with a bundle is approached by a beggar, while in the background other people are feasting on chestnuts. The work of pictorial value could be placed in that Italian experience undertaken by the Flemish painters. The subject, in line with the peculiar characteristics of genre painting, depicts with simple genuineness a straightforward portrayal of everyday life, with darting brushstrokes and the use of a precise and revealing light. Re-painted work, in good condition with minimal pictorial restorations. Measures with antique frame 108x95cm
