It's a visual reference to Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer, with the addition of an orange.

Thought so, thanks. Came here to see if I was reading too much into it.

Oh, I was kidding just to sound like I had an explanation and then throw the orange in as an afterthought. It does look like a reference, though.

I think you’re actually right, and I’m theorizing the orange is a reference to the painting The Son of Man with the apple in front of his face? I’m likely reading too far into it…
