"Studie af æbler" (Study of Apples) is a watercolor painting by Johanna Fosie, a Danish artist, created in 1751. The artwork depicts a cluster of apples with leaves, along with two individual apples, showcasing Fosie's skill in capturing the textures and colors of these fruits. It is a prime example of still-life art, a genre popular in 18th-century Europe. The artwork is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark. Fosie's work offers a glimpse into the meticulous observation and artistic talent of a female artist during a period when women's contributions to art were often overlooked.
