Flower seller

A flower seller, normally a woman, traditionally sells flowers on the street. Often the flowers are carried in a basket, for example. The subject matter has been a favorite of artists.[1][2] The profession has mostly died out in countries like the United Kingdom, but still exists in others such as India.
