Woman Keeping an Apple 1916

"Woman Keeping an Apple" is a 1916 painting by Hungarian artist János Kmetty, known for his expressive use of color and form. This painting depicts a woman in a blue-hued garment holding an apple in her right hand and another in a white dish, creating a powerful visual contrast. The simplified forms and bold colors, characteristic of Kmetty's style, give the painting a sense of monumentality and depth. The woman's serious expression and the symbolic nature of the apples suggest a deeper meaning, likely related to themes of temptation and knowledge.
