About the piece

Painted in 1887 during his time in Paris, this still life reflects Vincent van Gogh's transition into a brighter, more light-infused palette. The work features a basket of apples rendered with thick, energetic brushstrokes that give the fruit a tactile, sculptural presence. Dedicated to his friend and fellow artist Lucien Pissarro, the composition balances rustic simplicity with a sophisticated study of color and form.
