Description

Subject Matter:

The print shows a scene on a river during the Vegetable Market in the city of Amiens, France.

Physical Description:

Three gondolas in the foreground are in a river, steering toward a bridge on the right side of the scene. Two figures are steering in the foremost, center gondola, of which only a section can be seen. In the middle ground is a group of buildings, with a cluster of trees on the left. In the background, a cathedral rises up in the center left. The cathedral is created with much lighter lines, and blends in to the background.
