The Market Cart

A girl and three younger children are shown returning from the market. Their wagon is laden with fresh produce. The boy gathering sticks for fuel on the right was included as an afterthought. The position of the horse's head was also altered, making it strain forwards: the old position can be seen where the paint has become transparent with age.
