"The Poultry Dealer" is a notable painting by the Dutch artist Gabriel Metsu, who was active during the Dutch Golden Age. Metsu, born in 1629 and passing in 1667, is celebrated for his genre scenes, which often depict everyday life with a remarkable level of detail and emotional depth. "The Poultry Dealer," created around 1662, exemplifies Metsu's skill in capturing the nuances of domestic and market scenes, a common theme in his oeuvre.

The painting portrays a scene of a poultry market, where a dealer, typically a woman, is engaged in the sale of birds. The composition is meticulously arranged, with the dealer positioned centrally, surrounded by various types of poultry, including chickens and ducks. Metsu's attention to detail is evident in the textures of the feathers, the expressions of the figures, and the interplay of light and shadow, which adds a sense of realism and immediacy to the scene.

Metsu's work is often compared to that of his contemporaries, such as Johannes Vermeer and Gerard ter Borch, due to his ability to infuse ordinary scenes with a sense of narrative and intimacy. "The Poultry Dealer" is no exception, as it not only showcases the commercial activity but also hints at the social interactions and economic conditions of the time. The painting is a testament to Metsu's mastery of the genre painting tradition, blending careful observation with a keen sense of composition and color.

Today, "The Poultry Dealer" is held in high regard and is part of the collection at the Louvre Museum in Paris. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its insightful portrayal of 17th-century Dutch life.
