The Council Square of Yesteryear

The work delicately captures the social landscape of the city. A close look reveals that most people have their heads covered with hats or scarves. The colors of the stalls denote the richness of the products presented to the passers-by and the only form of protection against the scorching heat of the sun is the umbrella. In the background, you can see the chain of shops that fills the street. However, the storefronts do not compete with the small traders in the market.
