Bonnard loved representing overlooked scenes of daily life, such as this vegetable vendor pushing his cart along a street crowded with pedestrians and animals. The artist has given great attention to detail, with the striped awning behind the figures, the bit of red on the horses, and the red face of the street vendor. Although he has used a light and airy drawing style for the most of the scene, he has chosen to depict the vendor’s hat, the woman’s skirt, and the dog with darker and richer pigment. This was included in Some Aspects of Life in Paris, a suite of twelve monographic lithographs published by Ambroise Vollard in 1899 and exhibited together at Vollard’s gallery in March of the same year.
