EDITORS COMMENTS

This vibrant artwork showcases a Chinese fishmonger at his market stall, surrounded by an array of aquatic life. The intricate details and vivid colors bring to life the rich heritage and cultural diversity found within this thriving community. The fishmonger's expertise is evident as he skillfully displays an assortment of fish, lobsters, mussels, and other shellfish in baskets for potential customers to admire. Wores' painting not only captures the daily occupation of this hardworking man but also serves as an educational tool for viewers to learn about the trade and profession associated with seafood markets during that era. It provides valuable insight into both American history and Chinese immigrant contributions to society. Displayed prominently at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, "The Chinese Fishmonger" stands as a testament to Wores' artistic talent and his ability to capture moments of everyday life with precision.
