Painting Description
"Two Bunches a Penny, Primroses, Two Bunches a Penny, Plate 1 of The Cries of London" is a notable work by Francis Wheatley, an 18th-century British painter renowned for his depictions of everyday life. This particular piece is the first in a series titled "The Cries of London," which vividly portrays the street vendors of London during that era. Engraved by Luigi Schiavonetti between 1765 and 1810, the series was published by Colnaghi & Co. in 1793.
The artwork captures a street vendor, a common sight in London at the time, selling primroses. The phrase "Two Bunches a Penny" refers to the price of the flowers, highlighting the economic aspects of street vending. Wheatley's skill in rendering the expressions and postures of his subjects brings a sense of immediacy and intimacy to the scene, making it not only a visual representation but also a social commentary on the working conditions and lives of lower-class citizens.
The series as a whole is celebrated for its detailed portrayal of the diverse range of goods available in the streets of London and the vibrant atmosphere of urban life. Each plate serves as a historical document, providing insights into the socio-economic conditions of the time. "Two Bunches a Penny, Primroses" stands out for its delicate treatment of light and shadow, as well as its meticulous attention to the details of the human figure and the naturalistic presentation of the flowers.
