"Bloemenverkoopster" (Flower Seller) is an 1793 mezzotint by Luigi Schiavonetti, depicting a woman and two children selling flowers in London. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, captures the bustling urban life of the period. Schiavonetti, known for his fine line work, captures the details of their clothing and the surrounding street scene. This work provides a glimpse into the everyday lives of working-class Londoners in the late 18th century.
