Green Apples is a 1868 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows two boys in a grassy field. One stands tall, reaching up to pick apples from a tree branch. He wears a cap and striped pants. The other boy sits nearby, holding a basket, looking down. The background has a small house and wildflowers. Notice how the artist used simple lines to show light and shadow, making the scene feel real. The title, *Green Apples*, hints at the season and the boys’ work. Look up Realism next to see how artists showed everyday life this way.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
