The apple woman and her husband is a 1912 oil by Mark Gertler, held at National Gallery of Victoria.
The painting depicts a woman and a man, likely her husband, sitting together. The woman is wearing a white blouse with gray dots and a red headscarf with white dots, while the man is dressed in a dark jacket and a green cap. He is holding a basket of apples, and the woman is holding one apple in her hand. The scene is set against a light blue background, and the overall mood of the painting is one of quiet intimacy. The woman's expression is serious, while the man's face is partially obscured by his cap. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Mark Gertler, an artist known for his portraits and landscapes.
Mark Gertler (born Marks Gertler; 9 December 1891 – 23 June 1939) was a British painter of figure subjects, portraits and still-life.
