"Kippenverkoper" (The Poultry Seller) is a notable painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gabriel Metsu, created around 1662. Metsu, born in 1629 in Leiden, was a prominent figure in the Dutch art scene, known for his genre scenes, portraits, and still lifes. His works often depicted everyday life with a remarkable attention to detail and a keen sense of observation, characteristics that are vividly present in "Kippenverkoper."

The painting portrays a scene of a poultry seller, a common subject in Dutch genre painting, reflecting the bustling market life of the 17th century. Metsu's composition is both intimate and dynamic, capturing a moment of transaction between the seller and a customer. The seller, depicted with a lively expression, holds a chicken, while the customer, possibly a housewife, examines the poultry with discernment. The interaction between the figures is rendered with a sense of realism and immediacy, drawing the viewer into the scene.

Metsu's use of light and color is masterful, with a warm palette that enhances the textures of the figures' clothing and the feathers of the poultry. The detailed rendering of the market goods and the subtle play of light and shadow contribute to the painting's lifelike quality. The background, though less detailed, provides a context that situates the figures within a typical Dutch market setting, adding to the narrative depth of the work.

"Kippenverkoper" exemplifies Metsu's ability to elevate everyday scenes into works of art that offer insights into the social and economic life of his time. The painting is celebrated for its technical excellence and its ability to convey the nuances of human interaction. Today, it remains a significant piece within Metsu's oeuvre, admired for its artistic merit and historical value.
