The Hague | Petrus van Schendel | 1868

At the Poultry Stall on the Groenmarkt, The Hague (1868) by Petrus van Schendel is a superb example of the artist’s mastery of nocturnal light and atmosphere. Illuminated by the soft glow of a single candle, the market scene unfolds with exquisite realism—a young woman examines a fowl while the vendor’s face emerges from the shadows with quiet concentration. Van Schendel’s delicate handling of chiaroscuro transforms this everyday transaction into a study of warmth and intimacy amid the cool evening mist, capturing the poetic beauty of 19th-century urban life.
