Red Awning Market

Catalogue note

A street market is seen through a bold red awning that cuts diagonally across the top of the picture, sheltering pale figures who move among stalls and flowers. The handling is flat and poster-like, with broad areas of white, slate blue and vivid crimson set against warm ochre and green at the base. The strong graphic cropping and high-key light give the scene a cheerful, snapshot immediacy.
