In the 1950s Bratby was the leader of the so-called 'Kitchen Sink ' painters. In this painting his ongoing interest in British post-war life continues. The arrangement of exotic fruit reminds us of a time when the opportunity to purchase imported goods was a relatively new experience for many people.
