Painted riverside market on a sandy quay with figures, baskets, and tents, and the spire and towers of Notre-Dame rising across the river under a cloudy sky.

The Apple Market

A busy riverside market on a pale sandy quay in Paris, with vendors, shoppers, and a dog among crates, baskets, and canvas tents, while boats float on the river. Notre-Dame's spire and towers rise beyond the stone embankment under a cloudy sky, rendered in loose, feathery oil brushwork.
