Market
ca. 1850
Step into 19th-century Lima with this vibrant market scene by Francisco Fierro, a master of capturing everyday Peruvian life. A man in a straw hat holds out a yellow cloth, ready to wrap up a purchase for a woman in a white polka-dot dress who is carefully selecting produce from a massive, colorful mound of tropical fruits and vegetables. Fierro, often called 'Pancho Fierro,' was famous for his costumbrismo style, documenting the diverse cultures and bustling street scenes of his time with charming, lively detail.
