This appears to be a variation on the subject entitled Home from Market that Hughes painted in c.1885-6 and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1886 (unlocated). The 1886 Royal Academy version (known from the line engraving that appeared in Blackburn's Academy Notes, illd Leonard Roberts, Arthur Hughes - His Life and Work, Woodbridge, 1997, p.200) shows the figure cut off just below the waist.

I have such a soft spot for Arthur Hughs' work, even if he is a bit corny. (Or perhaps because he is: I'm rather corny myself!) I've never been able to find a book of reproductions dedicated to his art alone - which distresses me - only reproductions in broader surveys of Pre-Rapaelite or 19th century painting. I love "The Convent Boat"! Gorgeous!
