Painting Description
"The Nanterre Cake Seller" is a notable print from "The Cries of Paris" series, which is a collection of illustrations depicting various street vendors and their cries, or calls, that they used to attract customers in Paris during the 18th and 19th centuries. This particular print, numbered 10 in the series, was engraved by François-Séraphin Delpech (1778–1825), a French lithographer known for his portraits and genre scenes. The original artwork for this print was created by Carle Vernet (1758–1836), a French painter and lithographer celebrated for his depictions of horses, military subjects, and scenes from contemporary Parisian life.

The "Nanterre Cake Seller" specifically portrays a vendor from Nanterre, a suburb of Paris, known for its cakes, which were a popular treat at the time. The image captures the essence of the street merchant's life, showcasing the attire, demeanor, and the environment in which they worked.
Carle Vernet's attention to detail provides a vivid pictorial account that is both artistic and ethnographic, offering insights into the socio-economic conditions of the era. The collaboration with Delpech in the engraving process ensured that Vernet's works were widely disseminated, contributing to the popularity of the genre and the preservation of Parisian cultural history.
