This painting and Girl with Basket of Fish form an allegory of the fecundity of nature. The girl carrying the basket of fish, or the fruits of the sea, is set against a landscape reminiscent of the cliffs of Normandy in northern France, where Renoir painted frequently in the 1880s. Her companion with the oranges, by contrast, perhaps has the Bay of Naples behind her, a site Renoir visited in 1881. These paintings are a version of a pair that decorated the apartment of Renoir's dealer Paul Durand-Ruel.
