Ravi Varma often made multiple editions of this work, as is evident with "The Coquette" and "Lady With Fruit" that is part of the collection of works by the artist housed at National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai. It is believed that the painting of "The Coquette" is the first work painted by the artist, while "Lady With Fruit" with is slightly sloppy brush strokes and less focus on detail, especially the jewellery and sari detailing, is the second version of this painting.
