Market Day, Concarneau

Gertrude Lake 1858 - 1928

Summary

A view of a busy sunlit marketplace in Concarneau, southern coast of Brittany, France. Two peasant women in dark dress and pale headscarves stand talking in the right foreground, looking towards busy covered stalls on the left. Another group of three women stand beneath the shade of a young tree on the left. Buildings in the background hidden amongst the leafy trees. The thick brushstrokes mean there is less attention to detail in the work.
