| Description of Image |
A man with a broad-brimmed hat and soft collar over his jacket stands in the market place, holding a wooden bucket of cooked shrimp in his left hand. He scoops out shrimp with his right hand. The bucket is balanced against his slightly bent knees. He is selling the shrimp to two young boys who stand at the left. The smaller, bareheaded boy in front is getting some; his slightly taller, slightly older companion, who is wearing a hat, stands closely behind him intently watching the transaction. The step gable roofs and windowed facades of a number of buildings can be seen behind them.
