Oil on canvas. The signature H.Sanders is present on the barrel in the lower left. The scene, set outdoors in a street of a Flemish city, with the canal in the background on the left, features in the foreground a vegetable seller behind her stall, which is set up with a varied composition of winter vegetables, a still life composed of cauliflowers, cabbages, carrots, ears of corn; next to the woman, a passerby carrying a harpoon on his shoulder is offering her fish, evidently the fruit of his catch that he wants to sell. The setting suggests Amsterdam, the city where the Dutch painter Hercules (or Herkules) Sanders was born and lived, who established himself mainly as a portraitist, but of whom a genre scene in an interior is known, currently at the Detroit Institute of Arts, dated 1647 and entitled "Woman Cleaning Fish", whose female figure closely resembles the saleswoman in the work presented here. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a period frame.
