7. Unknown Artist (Flemish, 18th Century)

A lively market day scene. Oil on canvas, indistinctly signed on verso, framed in an ornate cast and gilded frame, 16-1/2" x 13" canvas size, with framing overall 21-1/4" x 18-1/2". A vegetable seller takes coins from a young woman carrying her baby in front of a shop while others look on. A dog standing nearby looks over his shoulder at something out of the picture. In the distance other structures are seen, and a circus-type performance is being presented on a platform at the left. The sign for the shop appears to be a pair of eyeglasses.
