Fanny Duvall studied at New York’s Art Students League and taught art in Syracuse before moving to Los Angeles in 1888. Within a year of this traditional still life painting (featuring California’s iconic oranges), Duvall began working in the new Impressionist style, making her one of the first California artists to do so.
