A traveling peddler shown offering his goods, holding open a slung tray-case filled with bottles, trinkets and small wares. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, a long green coat over layered clothing, and a bulky pack on his back, standing on a cobblestone display base.

The bushy beard, weathered coat, and portable shop of curiosities capture a 19th-century frontier or old-town street vendor. The pack, the tray of merchandise, and the coat folds are finely detailed for painting.

A wonderful market or street-life figure for a Victorian, old-west, or frontier-town diorama, and an atmospheric vendor for a period model-railroad depot or high-street scene.
