This busy market in San Remo depicts the figures and stalls in bold colours contrasting with the pale, sunbathed buildings forming the back drop and the pale blue sky. The architecture has the feeling of Impressionism – sufficient details for the spectator to read the Continental style. The figures have spontaneity and movement created by the artist with speedy watercolour brushwork.
