Fly Market

William P. Chappel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a street scene with a bridge and a market. The scene shows a small stone bridge with a black metal railing over a small stream or drainage area. People are standing on the bridge and walking around it. Behind the bridge is a covered market with a triangular roof and a brick base. The market appears to have a variety of goods on display. There are several multi-story brick buildings on either side of the market. The buildings have multiple windows and chimneys. The sky above is blue with pink and white clouds. The scene appears to represent the "Fly Market" by William P. Chappel.
