A boisterous scene set in Covent Garden. It is likely early morning after a night of carousing. In which the market has been disrupted by a raucous crowd. A man sits atop a sedan chair occupied by a woman. A woman raises her arm to strike a man lying on the ground in front of the sedan chair which has apparently knocked over baskets of assorted produce that are strewn in the foreground. The scene is otherwise crowded with pedlars and other more smartly dressed persons. St. Paul’s Church designed by Inigo Jones is prominent in the left background along with other buildings in the market square
Description:
Title from 2005 Christie's appraisal. and Date based on Nebot's departure from London. See Finberg.
