Mand met appelen 1887 - 1924

"Mand met appelen" (Basket with apples) is a graphite drawing created by Dutch artist Julie de Graag, born in 1877 and who tragically died in 1924. The simple still life, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woven basket overflowing with apples, rendered in fine detail with delicate shading. De Graag's work is characterized by her keen observation of everyday objects, often depicted with a sense of quiet realism. This drawing, created between 1887 and 1924, exemplifies her skill in capturing the textures and forms of the natural world.
