🖼 The Crockery Vendor, 1779
Oil on canvas
259 × 220 cm

Soft morning light bathes a street vendor displaying ceramic wares, rendered in delicate brushwork with warm earth tones. This modest genre scene reveals Goya's early interest in everyday Spanish life, prefiguring his later social commentary through humble subjects.
