The apple variety depicted in this painting is the McIntosh, which today accounts for two-thirds of New England’s annual apple harvest.
Description
Anderson disliked the industrialized cities of his day and opted to paint rural settings seemingly untouched by modern development. The leisurely activity of apple picking contrasts with demanding work in urban factories, and the young girl dressed in all white may represent idealized innocence. Anderson once stated that through his paintings he strove to capture “the fragrance of the beauty of life.”
