112. The Marketing. A lady (evidently the prudent
wife of some respectable Dutch burger) dressed in a scarlet
jacket, a white apron, and a tawny skirt, and carrying a
marketing pail of metal on her arm, is passing an elderly
man, who sits at the side of a house, holding up to her view
a dead cock for sale, which she rejects with a look of dis-
pleasure ; a wag stands beyond them smiling at the insinua-
tion evinced in the old man’s offer. Through an archway
behind this group are seen a church and some trees, &c. &c.
