Limonienkrämerinn (Lemon Seller)

Johann Georg Mansfeld, after Johann Christian Brand

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing upright, facing slightly to her left. She has her head tilted slightly to her right, with a soft expression on her face. She has neatly styled hair covered by a headpiece or cap. She wears a traditional dress with a fitted bodice, ankle-length skirt, and an apron tied around her waist. She has closed-toe shoes and is holding a basket of fruit, possibly lemons, against her hip with one hand. The background is plain, with minimal shading for a surface.
