The underside of the base is glazed except for most of the edge. The fruit vendor stands on a rounded diamond-shaped base with a convex top, rising up at the back to support her skirt. She stands on her right leg with her left foot forward, and leans back slightly from the waist, as she holds up her apron with both hands. Her right arm is bent at the elbow with the hand at waist level, and the left arm is stretched out. The apron is partly filled with fruit and foliage. Her hair is brown, and her features are boldly delineated in brown and red. She wears a pinner with lappets, and an orange-red ribbon and bow on top; brown earrings, and a black ribbon round her neck; a chemise under a dark pink low-necked bodice with gold edging and orange-red cuffs, each with a gold bow; a white apron over a pale yellow skirt, with a blue border round the hemline; and black shoes with gold bows. A blue flower is pinned to her left bodice front. The top of the base is faintly coloured with greyish-green and dribbles of thin yellow.C.84-19501accession numberC.84-195042211priref42211urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/42211https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/42211referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumGiven by Francis L.
