Description
The Pedlar is one of Prosalentis few pictures with a genre painting content. He produced it during his long stay in Venice. It shows a young boy looking doubtfully at the small array of merchandise which he has spread out on his knees. The boy's sorrowful face, the crumbling wall in the background, and the foliage of the tree give a romantic tone to the composition.
