Market Woman
1561 | Joachim Beuckelaer
Bueckelaer closely followed the stylistic example of his uncle and teacher, Pieter Aertsen. This picture is considered the painter’s earliest. With a Netherlandish sense of realism, he concentrates on visible things: the rough, working-woman’s hands, the hard facial features, the unbuttoned bodice, the dead goose and the pleats of the apron. In order to make as much as possible clearly visible, Bueckelaer also uses a deliberately old-fashioned perspective: things placed behind one another appear to be piled on top of each other.
