The Turtle Seller (French: Le marchand des tortues) is an oil on canvas painting by the French painter Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, from 1854.

[1] The painting, measuring 89 by 118 cm, depicts a daytime scene on a canal in Venice.

In the foreground there is a young black turtle seller, scantily dressed, half leaning against a column, with his gaze turned towards an apparently well-off lady and another one, while their two dogs are playing.

In the center of the predominantly gray-pink painting, a woman, accompanied by her child, transports two buckets using a yoke.

It then became a property of his nephew Camille Jordan, who later moved to London.
