Fresh Gathered Peas, Young Hastings

About this work

This scene shows a busy street moment with four people and a dog. A woman in a blue dress holds a basket of peas, while a little girl in a white dress reaches up to her. A man in a hat lifts a sack, and a boy leans against a cart, looking surprised. A horse and a wagon sit nearby, and a small dog runs in the foreground. The title says this is about "fresh gathered peas," so the basket might be the focus. The people look like they’re working or selling goods, with clothes from the 1700s.
