The jardinière depicted was also the subject of a similar still life by Renoir in the Museum's collection (MMA 61.101.12). Both paintings were executed in 1881 at the summer home of Renoir's friend Paul Bérard in Wargemont, near Dieppe, where the compote often decorated the dining room table [see Ref. Bérard 1938].
