Apple Gathering, Quimperlé is a 1892 oil by Walter Osborne, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a woman gathering apples in a lush green field. She is dressed in a blue dress and white head covering, and is standing next to a tree with a few apples still hanging from its branches. In the background, there are more trees and a building with a tall tower, set against a cloudy sky. The woman's posture and the way she is holding the branch suggest that she is carefully selecting the apples, perhaps for eating or cooking. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tranquility and simplicity, evoking a sense of a peaceful rural life.
