The present work relates to a number of prints produced by Scott in 1974 (B. Balfour-Oatts, William Scott - A Survey of his Original Prints, London, 2005, nos. 49-51) and to the 17 'Orchard of Pears' works in oil produced by Scott between 1976-77.

Norton commments, 'A well-established pear tree flourishing outside the house at Coleford meant that pears were around seasonally, ripening on and then off the tree. For a while they were WS's only sitters' (see N. Lynton, William Scott, London, 2004, p. 334).
