Niccolò Schiavonetti after Francis Wheatley

National Gallery of Art

Three women are standing in front of a doorway. The woman on the left is holding a tray with fish and has fair skin. She is wearing a dark hat, a cream long-sleeved dress under a brown shawl, a blue apron, and her hair is tucked under her hat. The woman in the middle is wearing a soft hat and a blue dress with a coral sash, and has long, dark hair. The woman on the right has light brown hair pulled back under a white cap, fair skin, and is wearing a white dress with brown sleeves and a blue apron tied around her waist. She is holding her hands on her hips. In the background, there is a wooden doorway, stone steps, a low metal fence, a plastered wall, a window covered with a red curtain, and a large wicker basket on the ground.
