The artwork is characterized by its meticulous attention to the attire and expressions of the vendor, reflecting the socio-economic conditions of the time. Vernet's use of color and composition not only highlights the vendor's wares but also provides a glimpse into the daily interactions and the vibrant street culture of Paris.
Carle Vernet, born Antoine Charles Horace Vernet in 1758, was a prominent figure in the French art scene, known for his contributions to both genre painting and lithography. He was the son of Claude Joseph Vernet, a celebrated landscape painter, and the father of Horace Vernet, who also gained fame as a painter. Carle Vernet's works are often praised for their dynamic compositions and the lively portrayal of contemporary life, which is evident in "The Cries of Paris" series.
"The Cries of Paris" series, including "The Basket Seller," serves as an important historical document, offering insights into the trades and occupations that were integral to the daily life of Parisians in the early 19th century. Through these works, Vernet not only showcases his artistic prowess but also preserves the cultural heritage of Paris, making them invaluable to both art historians and enthusiasts of French history.
