Basket Maker's Store

John Fisk

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a basket maker's shop with various baskets displayed. Inside a showcase, numerous baskets are arranged along the walls of a compartment with a blue background. The showcase is depicted from a slightly angled viewpoint, and a small rectangular sign overhead reads "BASKET MAKER" on a blue background. Several baskets of different shapes and sizes are hung or propped up on displays. The shelf below the baskets holds additional products like a stool and a small table adorned with a cloth. There is a sense of symmetry and careful layout in the depiction, emphasizing the various woven patterns and textures of the baskets.
