About the Item

Oil on cardboard Dimension with frame :81.5 x 53 x 6 cm This impressionist artwork captures the essence of urban life with a picturesque and nostalgic scene. The man in the center, dressed in a dark coat and hat, holds a tray filled with sweets, suggesting his profession as a street vendor. Subtle details, such as his glasses and focused expression, add depth to his personality. The background is blurred, evoking a park or a busy street, or perhaps a fairground with moving silhouettes and towering trees. The use of earthy colors and vigorous brushstrokes gives the scene a warm and nostalgic atmosphere. The composition highlights the contrast between a humble life and the dynamism of a city in the background. This painting tells a timeless story, celebrating the simplicity and small trades of the city with touching authenticity.
