About the piece
Painted circa 1915, 'Red Apples' showcases Helene Schjerfbeck's transition into a more modernist, expressive style. The work is characterized by its heavy impasto and a sophisticated palette of lavender, rose, and vermilion, creating a tactile and atmospheric still life that feels both timeless and contemporary.
