Siberian Apple is a 1804 by Mary Altha Nims, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a single branch with bright red berries and three glossy green leaves. The berries are round and smooth, hanging from a thin brown stem. The background is plain, letting the colors stand out. The artist wrote "Siberian Apple" in the corner—this isn’t a real fruit but a nickname for a type of berry. The careful way the leaves and berries are painted makes them look almost real. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
