Painting Description
"Turnips and Carrots Ho, Plate 13 from the Cries of London" is a notable work by the English painter Francis Wheatley. The painting is part of Wheatley's famous series "Cries of London," which vividly depicts the street vendors of 18th-century London. This series, produced between 1792 and 1795, is celebrated for its detailed portrayal of the urban poor and their daily lives, capturing the vibrancy and diversity of the city's street commerce.
Plate 13, specifically titled "Turnips and Carrots Ho," illustrates a vendor, likely a woman, calling out to sell her fresh produce. She is typically shown with a basket or bundle of the vegetables, embodying the spirit of the hardworking individuals who took to the streets to earn their living. The phrase "Ho" in the title reflects the traditional call of street sellers to attract the attention of potential buyers.
Wheatley's artistic approach in this series combines realism with a touch of idealization, rendering his subjects with dignity and a sense of individual character. His work not only provides an invaluable social commentary on the era but also showcases his skill in capturing the nuances of light, color, and texture.
The "Cries of London" series was well-received in Wheatley's time and remains significant in the history of British art. It offers a window into the everyday life of Londoners at the close of the 18th century and has been the subject of various exhibitions and scholarly studies. "Turnips and Carrots Ho" holds a particular place within this series, representing the theme of street commerce and the role of women in the urban economy of the period. The original works are highly sought after, and the series has been reproduced in various forms, including prints that have allowed a wider audience to appreciate Wheatley's portrayal of London street life.
