Lavender Vendor at Utrecht Market Table

Small purple sachets rest in neat rows on a wooden table beside a stainless steel fish counter. Dappled sunlight falls through overhead leaves, creating shifting patches of bright yellow and deep shadow across the dried flowers. Early spring air leaves the wooden surface cool and slightly damp near the metal edges. Behind the vendor, dramatic gray clouds gather against a pale sky, visible through gaps in the market canopy. The sachets show wrinkled fabric textures and tied strings, sitting next to the gleaming, wet surface of the fish display. A shadow from a hanging plant falls across the front edge of the table, at the base of the arrangement in the busy afternoon market space.
