This beautiful vegetable seller is painted on a background of black and brown. The whiteness of her face is accentuated by the red scarf she wears over her shoulders.

Her pose is lascivious, one hand on one hip, the second grasping a piece of fruit.
Her gaze flees from the viewer, she seems lost away from the display, a slight smile on her lips.

Great attention is paid to details: her earrings, her ring...as well as to fruits and vegetables.

All the codes of portraiture hitherto reserved for the aristocracy are used: the size of the painting, the pose of the model, the simplicity and meticulousness of the details.
The woman of the people became the equal of the aristocrat.
