I am selling
this very beautiful engraving (with etching) of a farmers’ market in an
early stage of preparation with a resting shepherd and his cattle in the foreground
and rural folk enjoying themselves at an inn shown further back—note that my
reading, of the scene may be wrong and is based on my translation of the title: “The Market to
Do”—for AU$198 in total (currently US$125.18/EUR126.90/GBP109.99 at the time of
