    FRESH TO THE MARKET!
    19TH C. PORTRAIT OF YOUNG GIRL

    Here a young woman is captured  with a beautiful blue dress and a basket of flowers. She must be known for her love of flowers as the portraitist  shows her picking a plump, red bloom, perhaps indicative of her status as an eligible, young,
    "fresh bloom" of a woman. 

    The outdoor idyllic background suggests that she is perhaps from a family of property, and her blue dress reflects both her modesty and her elevated social status with a religious undertone.
