Turnips and Carrots Ho

Thomas Gaugain after Francis Wheatley

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two women outdoors. The primary figure is a woman facing slightly left with long, wavy hair under a wide-brimmed hat. She wears a long skirt, blouse, pink jacket, and blue apron. She holds turnips and green leafy vegetables. Beside her, a donkey carries a basket with turnips and carrots. Another young woman stands behind the donkey wearing a blue dress and a hat. The background shows an architectural setting with steps, an archway leading into a building, and a partly cloudy sky.
