A seated girl wearing a cloak and a broad-brimmed hat with a spaniel on a lead resting at her feet, left, and a large basket of fruit in the foreground, right. The composition derives from James Northcote’s painting 'The Fruit Girl', which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1785 (no.172), and is known from a print after it in stipple and etching by Thomas Gaugain, published by Gaugain himself in April the same year (impression in the British Museum, London, 1866,0210.303). The print presents the image as an oval. While it might be assumed that the Brodsworth work is a painted copy of Northcote’s picture, the existence of an almost identical version of the same subject, of almost exactly the same size, in Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery (DONMG: 139.
