Flower seller

Description:Street scene of a man selling flowers from a basket at a street corner. An elderly man with a moustache, in a long dark coat, hat and tie, bends over the basket, selecting flowers. He is standing on the sidewalk, on the right side of the photograph. On the left, the flower seller in a flat cap, coat, corduroy trousers and dirty shoes, is standing on the street, holding a piece of string in his mouth and offering two small bouquets in his right hand.
Comment:The flower seller's clothes and damaged shoes indicate that he is poor.
