A Difficult Decision
Shopping hasn't changed much in a century! Here, two wealthy women in shimmering silk gowns are interrupted during a seaside stroll by an enterprising peddler. The merchant kneels before them, pulling colorful shawls and fabrics from a large drum case, while the lady in teal looks deeply contemplative—likely haggling over the price. Her friend in white seems ready to buy, smiling at the display, while a servant in the background leans on the railing with a bucket, perhaps wondering when her ladies will finally finish browsing.
