Beautiful, detailed steel engraving from the picture by Myles Birket Foster. A group of young girls are about to dispose of a dish of cherries, probably gathered in an adjoining orchard. All are intent on the work they have to do, each appearing to be making a choice of the most inviting cherries from the dish.
