About this work

This painting shows a woman and a man in a market scene. The woman sits on the ground, surrounded by baskets of fruits and vegetables, and is peeling a cabbage. The man stands behind her, looking up at the sky. He wears a hat and a red shirt. The background is dark, with arches and a distant landscape visible. The woman's clothing and the style of the painting suggest a specific time period. The abundance of fruits and vegetables in the market scene is notable.
