"The Sausage Seller" is an etching by Daniel Hopfer (circa 1470–1536), a German artist known for his pioneering work in the development of etching as a printmaking technique. Hopfer, originally a craftsman who decorated armor in Augsburg, Germany, is credited with being one of the first to apply the etching process to printmaking, transferring the method from his armor designs to iron plates to create prints.

The etching depicts a scene of a sausage seller in a lively market or street setting, showcasing Hopfer's skill in capturing the details of everyday life during the early 16th century. The work is characterized by its intricate line work and the use of hatching and cross-hatching to create tonal effects, which was innovative for its time and demonstrated the potential of etching as a medium for fine art.

As an artist, Hopfer was influential in the dissemination of the Renaissance style in Northern Europe, and his prints often included elements of satire and social commentary. "The Sausage Seller" may reflect this aspect of his work, potentially offering insight into the social hierarchies and cultural practices of the period.

The etching is part of a larger body of work by Hopfer that includes both secular and religious subjects. His contributions to the field of printmaking are significant, as he helped to establish etching as a respected artistic technique, which was later adopted and refined by other artists such as Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt.

"The Sausage Seller" is not only an example of Hopfer's artistic skill but also serves as a valuable historical document, providing a window into the customs and daily life of early 16th-century Germany. The work is held in various art collections and has been the subject of study for its artistic merit and historical context.
