The painting shows a plate of apples on a table. It's interesting because the artist played with perspective, tilting the table and plate towards the viewer. This was a new way of painting at the time, and it creates a sense of unease. Check out the technique of impasto to learn more about how artists like Paul Cezanne used it.
