Chestnut Vendors (Marchands de marrons)

Camille Pissarro, 1878

The image shows three individuals in a market setting. The central figure is standing and appears to be tasting something with their fingers near their mouth. They wear a headscarf and a coat. To the left, another individual is seated and leaning forward with an arm extended into a large container. They also wear a headscarf and a long-sleeved dress. On the right, a third person is standing in profile, with their hands clasped together, head covered, and wearing a coat. The background features a bustling market with indistinct figures, stalls, buildings, and barren trees.
