Apart from his marriage in London circa 1729, very little is known of Nebot's life. He had a particular interest in depicting market scenes that included vegetable stalls, fish markets, and fruit vendors. Although Nebot initially specialized in topographical scenes of London, the urban scene in this painting is closer in style to the works by Peter Angelis (1685 - 1734).
