This exceptional view of a morning market features diligent female vegetable sellers and a fine selection of delectable fruits arranged neatly across the table. The artist brings the viewer in by conveying a sense of spatial depth with the use of linear perspective. The details on the ornate patterned garments of the ladies, and of the gentle hands in labour are painted with great precision, displaying the artist's impeccable skill in the medium of watercolour.
