This is the series for which the artist is most remembered, painting London's street vendors selling their goods. In this case it was "Sweet China Oranges, sweet oranges" depicting baskets of oranges being sold
It is a beautiful black transfer with hand painted touches of yellow, reddish pink, green and blue.  The border is highlighted with a lustre finish and multiple layers of green banding.
