About this work
Carrying her baskets full of goods, the cherry seller goes from door to door. She meets with success at this house. The finely dressed occupant holds up a handful of cherries, for which her little daughter eagerly reaches. This sunny, colourful scene by the Dordrecht painter Van Strij exudes a pleasant atmosphere. The harmony is disrupted only by the dog, which has frightened the cat.
