A Vegetable Seller is a 1826 paint by Unknown, a company_painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
You see a vegetable seller sitting in front of a pile of fresh produce. The woman wears a bright red sari and holds up a long green gourd. Her market stall sits in front of a plain white wall. This was made for British traders in India in the 1820s. It shows daily life, but also tells us about trade and culture at the time. The colors stay bright and flat, no shadows here. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of these.
