Apples in a Dish is a 1892 oil by Auguste Renoir, a Impressionism work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting shows a blue and white dish filled with apples. The apples are green and red, and they're piled up in the dish. There are more apples scattered around the table. The background is a soft, blurry color. The apples look shiny and real. You can see the light reflecting off them. The dish is decorated with a pattern of dots around the edge. The artist who painted this is Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born on 25 February 1841 in Limoges, the son of a tailor and a seamstress.
