Apples

c. 1934

Vibrant, expressionist painting depicting a still life scene with a profusion of fruits, possibly oranges and lemons, on a table with a patterned tablecloth. The background features lush greenery, possibly potted plants, and the composition is rich with bold, impasto brushstrokes in a palette of reds, yellows, greens, and blues. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
