Two men stand at a scale with the day's catch laid out before them, the fish sorted and the weighing done by hand. Market scenes like this one show how a working day ended in a community that depended on what came off the water and what was sold at the stall or wharf. The weighing itself was the moment of trade, when a fair price was settled and the catch changed hands. Notice the care in the posture of the men and the arrangement of the fish, which record both the labor and the routine of a local market.
