"At the Bazaar" or "The Empty Purse" is a painting by James Collinson, an English artist known for his association with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848. Collinson's work is characterized by its detailed execution and the use of vivid colors, which align with the Pre-Raphaelite principles of emulating the detail and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art.

The painting depicts a scene at a bazaar, capturing the vibrant atmosphere of a marketplace. It is a genre painting, focusing on the everyday life and activities of ordinary people, a subject that was popular in Victorian art. The title "The Empty Purse" suggests a narrative element to the work, implying a story of financial loss or the consequences of spending, which was a common moral theme in Victorian art and literature.

Collinson's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the various goods and the interactions between the figures in the painting. The use of light and shadow, as well as the intricate rendering of textures and patterns, reflects the artist's skill and his dedication to the Pre-Raphaelite ideal of truth to nature.

The painting serves as an example of Collinson's work after his departure from the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which he left due to personal reasons, including his engagement to Elizabeth Siddal, who later broke off the engagement to marry Dante Gabriel Rossetti, another member of the Brotherhood. Despite this, Collinson continued to produce works that were influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite style and themes.

As a notable work by James Collinson, "At the Bazaar" or "The Empty Purse" is significant for its representation of Victorian genre scenes and its connection to the broader Pre-Raphaelite movement. It offers insight into the social and cultural interests of the period, as well as the artistic endeavors that sought to capture the truth and beauty found in everyday life.
