"The Poultry Seller" is a captivating genre painting created by the Dutch artist Gabriel Metsu, who was active during the Dutch Golden Age. Metsu, born in 1629 and deceased in 1667, is renowned for his detailed and vibrant depictions of everyday life, and "The Poultry Seller" stands as a testament to his skill and keen observation.

This painting, believed to have been completed around 1662, exemplifies Metsu's ability to capture the subtleties of human interaction and the textures of the material world. The scene portrays a market setting where a woman, presumably the poultry seller, is engaged in a transaction with a customer. The composition is meticulously arranged, with the figures positioned in a manner that draws the viewer's eye to the central action of the sale. The seller, dressed in typical 17th-century attire, holds a plump, freshly plucked chicken, while the customer, possibly a housewife or a servant, examines the goods with a discerning eye.

Metsu's use of light and shadow enhances the realism of the scene, highlighting the textures of the poultry, the fabrics of the clothing, and the various objects that populate the market stall. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the feathers, the glistening surfaces of the poultry, and the subtle expressions on the faces of the figures, which convey a sense of narrative and interaction.

"The Poultry Seller" not only showcases Metsu's technical prowess but also provides a glimpse into the daily life and commerce of 17th-century Holland. The painting is a valuable piece within the context of Dutch genre painting, reflecting the social and economic conditions of the time. It is housed in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its artistic merit and historical significance.
