The Baker's Cart, 1656, Oil on canvas, 38 3/4 x 49 3/8 in. ( x cm), Paintings, Jean Michelin (French, ca. 1616–1670), Although depictions of peasants and popular life in rural settings were common in the mid-17th century, Michelin situates his subjects in an urban context. The baker and his cart are prominent but the artist also presents others who sold their wares in the streets of Paris, such as the old woman offering medicinal eau-de-vie and the boy with a large basket on his back
