Peasant Dish with Apples 1923

"Peasant Dish with Apples" is a 1923 still life oil painting by Samuel Mutzner. It depicts a simple, yet striking, composition of two apples resting on a patterned plate, set upon a colorful cloth. The artist's use of thick brushstrokes and vibrant hues contributes to the tactile and almost three-dimensional quality of the painting. The work exemplifies the realist style of the early 20th century, showcasing a nuanced understanding of light and shadow, as well as the artist's keen observation of everyday objects.
