Catalogue Note
'A fruit market scene in one of the isles of the sugar-cane, with a typical example of early Colonial architecture in the background. The picturesque motley of the natives vies with that of the merchandise to produce a refreshing market atmosphere.' (The Red Lacquer Room, Austin Reed, London, p.12)
