Apples, Pears and Primroses is a 1872 oil by Gustave Courbet, a Realism work, depicting Apple, held at Norton Simon Museum.
This painting shows a still life of fruit and flowers. On a white tablecloth, there are many apples and pears in different colors, some with leaves. In the background, there's a vase with white flowers and green leaves. The scene is set in a room with a chair and a picture on the wall. The artist has used warm colors to make the fruit and flowers look real and inviting. The way the light falls on the objects creates a sense of depth and texture.
