Fruit and vegetable stands

Fresco
Castello Challant, Issogne (Valle d'Aosta)

The lunette on the back wall of the loggia pictures a colourful fruit and vegetable market. Here again the scene is divided into two halves. The women who run these stalls, beneath a high arcade supported by a massive red pillar, sell other things besides fruit and vegetables, hanging from a molding along the back wall.
