A street scene in Middleburg, Zeeland, The Netherlands

A street scene in Middelburg, Zeeland. Possibly market day in the town square with three girls in the foreground. They are wearing typical Dutch attire of long skirt, over the shoulder shawl and large cotton hats. The small girl in the centre is holding a small bunch of flowers wrapped in a paper cone. The girl on the left is carrying a wooden yoke on which two wicker baskets are suspended. A man on a bicycle fitted with a front basket is immediately behind the girls.
