The concept for this painting stems from a now lost work of Cassatt’s: the mural she painted for the Women’s Building of the 1893 World’s Fair entitled Modern Woman. In the mural a group of women stand in a field gathering fruits off the trees, symbolizing women plucking the fruits of knowledge. Cassatt was not known for activism, but in a few examples of her work she emphasizes women’s ability to participate in the intellectual.
