A figure of a man wearing apron, right middleground, offers a selection of tarts from a tray to a young boy and girl, center middleground. An elegantly dressed woman, left foreground, possibly their mother, appears to be telling the children to take only one tart. A woman holding a baby, center middleground, holds a tart which the baby is trying to reach. Two platters and a compote stand filled with tarts in right foreground, are displayed on a shelf next to the shop entrance from which a striped awning hangs. A carriage and driver, left rearground, await the family.
