The London Market - The tomato vendor

The London market is full of big and small stands selling anything from fresh produce to dusty  books and antiques. This old woman is selling some (overly?) ripe tomatoes. I originally painted her for my Three Musketeers collection, as she seemed fairly period neutral, but I decided in the end she fit in better in the Victorian age after all, so I rebased her (again).

Riiiipe tomatoes. Buy 'em before they spoil!

Seriously, buy'em now!
The base figure is Lemax' apple vendor, but painting them as tomatoes just seemed to fit. I've also aged her quite a bit with the repainting and I think it suits her.
I remember when I used to be young and was selling apples.
The size fits in perfectly too.

Watson, I believe I may have discovered an entirely new type of tomato disease on this woman's offerings!
