All eyes (including the dog's) are on the enticing basket of freshly picked apples. Renoir probably painted this canvas at Essoyes, the home village of his wife, Aline, on the border of Champagne and northern Burgundy, in 1890—the year in which the couple were married. The seated woman with the embellished hat is likely Aline, and the young boy is likely the couple's son Pierre, but the girl remains unidentified. Unusually, Renoir depicts a financial transaction, highlighting the class distinctions then emerging from the era's rapid industrialization
