Strawberry Pedlar

William P. Chappel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a man standing on a street with a dog. He wears a blue cap and white jacket, holding a tray of hanging strawberries in front of him. A black dog with a long tail walks beside him. The man and dog are positioned on a paved road. To the left, a woman in a blue dress and hat walks on the sidewalk in front of a yellow house with a white picket fence and a tree. The house has two stories, with four windows on the top floor and three on the bottom, plus a door. Behind the man, there are several tall, narrow trees and a large brick building with a metal structure, possibly a barn or greenhouse, on the right side. The sky above is grayish-blue and yellowish near the horizon.
