The Moreuil market is a 1850 unspecified by Louis Braquaval, a Realism work, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This painting shows a lively market scene. In the center, a woman in a white dress and apron holds a basket of vegetables. To her left, a man in a dark jacket and hat examines a vegetable. On the right, a woman in a blue dress and white apron holds a basket of bread. The background is filled with other people shopping and chatting.

The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and life.
