Young Woman Peeling Apples (dummy board) is a 1696 unspecified by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a young woman sitting in a chair, peeling apples. She is wearing a brown dress with a white apron and a white cap on her head. The woman is looking down at the apples in her lap. The apples are arranged in a basket on her lap, and she is holding one in her hand, peeling it with a knife. The background of the painting is a plain white wall. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting. Look up the technique of chiaroscuro next.
