"Der Gipsfigurenverkäufer" (The Plaster Figure Seller) is a notable painting by the French artist Alexandre Marie Guillemin, who was active during the 19th century. Guillemin, born in 1817 and passing in 1880, was known for his genre scenes that often depicted everyday life with a keen eye for detail and a compassionate portrayal of his subjects. This particular work exemplifies his skill in capturing the nuances of human interaction and the subtleties of light and shadow.

The painting portrays a humble scene of a street vendor selling plaster figures, a common sight in European cities during the 19th century. The vendor, often depicted as an itinerant tradesman, is shown with his wares displayed, engaging with potential customers. Guillemin's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the plaster figures, which range from classical busts to religious icons, reflecting the popular tastes of the time.

Guillemin's use of color and composition draws the viewer's eye to the central interaction between the vendor and his customers, often children or women, who are depicted with a sense of curiosity and wonder. The background typically features an urban setting, providing context and enhancing the narrative of the scene. The artist's ability to convey texture, from the roughness of the vendor's clothing to the smooth surfaces of the plaster figures, adds a tactile quality to the work.

"Der Gipsfigurenverkäufer" is a testament to Guillemin's talent in genre painting, capturing a slice of 19th-century life with authenticity and empathy. The painting not only serves as a visual document of the period but also highlights the social dynamics and economic activities of the time. Guillemin's work remains appreciated for its historical value and artistic merit, offering insight into the everyday lives of ordinary people through the lens of a skilled and observant artist.
