A MARKET SCENE IN VENICE
Height, 30½ inches; length, 41 inches
This is a study of a characteristic shop in a Venetian street where eatables of every kind are sold. On the left stands on a scaldino a steaming kettle, and near it salt codfish are displayed. Under a rough wooden awning stand barrels full of herring, a suspended chicken, boxes of oranges and other fruit, and standing near the fruit is a young girl, apparently examining the wares or bargaining with the grocery man.
Signed at the lower right, A. Milesi, Venezia, 1894.
