Young Husband: First Marketing

What you see

The young husband fills the center in a black hat and dark green coat, caught mid-stride with one leg in the air. He hugs a wicker basket of eggs, tomatoes and greens, with a plucked bird hanging from it, and clutches a closed umbrella. Behind him, a man in a top hat grins as the wind turns his own umbrella inside out. Houses, posters and other passersby fill the background.

The tones are earthy and muted, as on a rainy day, and the wet pavement reflects the figures. Light falls on the husband's glum face and the white eggs. Don’t miss the vegetables already spilled on the sidewalk at lower left, and the lone tomato by his shoe.
