About the piece

Painted in 1771 by John Atkinson, this oil on canvas captures a quiet moment of domestic life. The composition is framed by a trompe-l'oeil arch, drawing the eye to the central figure surrounded by a rich abundance of seasonal vegetables, from leafy cabbages to ripe peaches, all rendered with luminous detail.
