Apple tree 1900

Zinaida Serebriakova's "Apple Tree" (1900) is a striking example of her distinctive style. The painting depicts a single apple tree laden with ripe fruit, its branches reaching towards the sky, creating a sense of abundance. The bold brushstrokes and vivid colours, particularly the rich reds of the apples against the vibrant green foliage, evoke a sense of energy and life. The background features a glimpse of a house with colorful windows, suggesting a domestic setting, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. This artwork, characteristic of Serebriakova's early work, demonstrates her talent for capturing the beauty of nature in a vibrant and expressive manner.
