De Groenmarkt met gezicht op de Stille Rijn in Leiden

The vegetable market is quiet. A farmer’s wife sells her produce, which has been brought in from the country by boat. Vessels are moored along the Rhine, waiting to load goods. The building on the left with the two figures on the façade is the new, modern Waag—the weigh-house. Everything that comes in is weighed here, so that no one can cheat.
