The sculpture is paired with the nearby composition "Bread" ("Хлеб"), and the two are read together as an allegory of abundance: a young man and woman lift a basket of fruit above their heads. The work is attributed to sketches by Vera Mukhina, sculptor of the "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman".
The sculpture stands at the central entrance of Friendship Park on Leningradsky Prospekt, near the Rechnoy Vokzal river terminal. The park is reached by metro and bus from the Rechnoy Vokzal transport hub. The paired composition "Khleb" stands a short walk away, so both can be seen on one visit.
The sculpture has a twin: the composition "Bread" ("Хлеб") stands nearby in the same park. Both were made to Vera Mukhina's sketches, and together they mark the entrance area by the Rechnoy Vokzal river terminal. Mukhina also created the "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman" monument.
