Venetian Onion Seller

The artwork Venetian Onion Seller is a painting, created by John Singer Sargent between 1880 and 1882. It is currently held at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and measures 0.7 meters in width and 0.95 meters in height.

The painting depicts a young woman, presumably an onion seller in Venice, standing in a dimly lit interior. She wears a dark dress with a white apron and holds a large bunch of onions in her arms. The woman's face is turned towards the viewer, her expression serious and perhaps a touch weary. A window behind her offers a glimpse of a sunlit Venetian canal scene, creating a contrast between the woman's humble world and the vibrant city beyond.
