This interior scene of the Butter Market at Concarneau is bursting with life. The figures are full of spontaneity and are deep in conversation. The composition would have been painted at lightning speed with great freedom and great accuracy. Every stroke of the brush, seemingly so careless, has been evidently well thought out giving the painterly illusion of movement. Focused on interaction, Knighton-Hammond creates atmosphere in the interior with a stylistic freedom of touch.
