Flower seller in Rome

Ca. 1908. Oil on canvas.
On display elsewhere

The scene shows a group of ‘ciociare’ or peasant women from Rome’s suburbs. They wear their typical folk costumes and offer their wares of violets and daffodils to passers-by. It can therefore be determined that the print was painted around February-March in the Piazza del Popolo (Rome).
