Apfelernte 1919

Cuno Amiet’s *Apfelernte* (1919) is a vibrant depiction of a woman seated with her arms crossed, holding a red apple in her lap. The work is painted in a bold, expressive style that is characteristic of Amiet’s later works, which focused on the simplification of forms and bold colors. The woman’s face is rendered with a simplified, almost mask-like quality, with her features outlined in black, set against the vibrant orange background. This painting reflects Amiet’s fascination with the human form and its relationship to nature, themes that he often explored throughout his career.
