"The Poultry Seller" is a significant and celebrated work by Belgian painter Petrus van Schendel (1806–1870). Recognized for his nocturnal market scenes, van Schendel created this piece in the mid-19th century, within the period of Romanticism. This striking artwork depicts a scene from everyday life: a poultry seller in a bustling market, surrounded by potential buyers.

The perspective of the painting places attention on the central figure, the poultry seller, engaging the viewer with the intimate details of the merchant's trade. Van Schendel arranged the figures symmetrically, adding depth to the scene and providing a narrative that transcends time. The work is symbolic of the artist's unique approach to crafting luminous night-time scenes using a special technique known as 'nocturne,' shadowing his subjects in candle or moonlight to achieve depth and detailing rarely seen in night settings.

Residing within the tradition of the Dutch Golden Age yet extending it to reflect 19th-century concerns, van Schendel's "The Poultry Seller" is a pertinent record of urban life and commerce during that era. Its emphasis on detailed realism, ordinary subjects, and spectacular use of light and shadow evoke a captivating depiction of life, reflecting the socio-economic conditions of the time.

The painting is currently housed in a private collection. It continues to attract interest from critics and art enthusiasts alike, remaining a notable masterpiece within Petrus van Schendel's oeuvre. Throughout his career, the artist created several market scenes, but "The Poultry Seller" holds a special place for its remarkable representation of the interaction between the trader and potential buyers, adding a humanistic touch to an everyday occurrence.
