"Sweet China Oranges, Sweet China," plate 3 of "The Cries of London" series, is a notable work by the English painter Francis Wheatley (1747–1801). Engraved by the Italian printmaker Luigi Schiavonetti (1765–1810), this piece was published in 1794 by Colnaghi & Co., a prominent print seller and publisher of the time. The series captures the vibrant street life of London through its depiction of the various street vendors and their cries—a term referring to the shouts or chants used to advertise their goods.

Wheatley's "The Cries of London" consists of thirteen paintings, which were subsequently engraved and gained widespread popularity. "Sweet China Oranges, Sweet China" specifically portrays a fruit seller, a common sight in 18th-century London, offering sweet oranges to passersby. The image is rich in detail and character, providing insight into the social history of the period and the everyday lives of working-class individuals.

The artwork is characterized by Wheatley's attention to the nuances of light, color, and texture, which lends a sense of realism and immediacy to the scene. The series, including "Sweet China Oranges, Sweet China," was well-received in Wheatley's time and contributed to his election as a Royal Academician in 1791. Today, the works are considered important examples of genre painting and offer a picturesque record of the urban landscape and commerce of late 18th-century London.
