A Florentine Fruit Stall is an oil on canvas genre painting by the German-British artist Johann Zoffany, from 1777. [1] It portrays fruit vendors at a stall in Florence in Tuscany. The main figures are the stallholder, her daughter, a country girl with a basket, a beggar and a capuchin friar. It may have included additional figure on the right which were later cut off. [2]
It was painted while he was in the city to fulfill a commission from Queen Charlotte The Tribuna of the Uffizi . Painted purely for his own interest, the fruit sellers remained in his studio until his death in 1810. [3] Today the painting is in the collection of the Tate Britain in London, having been acquired in 1955. [4]
