- The Street Vendor depicts a rather dour candy seller at her stand in the market at Huelgoat, a central Brittany village. Framed by her black umbrella, the woman and her pinched expression contrast comically with the sweet product she is selling.
- Sérusier’s paintings and prints often reflected the harshness of Breton women’s lives, bounded by poverty, superstition, and daily toil.
- Unlike many Pont-Aven School printmakers who experimented with complex techniques, Sérusier preferred to use a straightforward lithography process. The brownish tint in this print was caused by the fading of the light-sensitive paper.
