Description

A woman selling fish is shown outside a doorway, with one foot on a step. She wears a red cape and has a large basket of fish held by her right hip. She appears to be shouting at the lady whose head is peering from a gap in the door. Beside the seller is a dog who is staring at a cat by the door which has its back raised.
There is a sign attached to the house shown at the top right of the picture, it is faded but reads "a Man loaded with // mischief".
