Picking Apples

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sepia-toned woodcut print by Arthur Allen Lewis, titled "Picking Apples". The print features a man bent over, picking apples from a tree. The man wears a wide-brimmed hat and a long-sleeved shirt. He faces to the left, with his head down and his body angled to the left. Apples and leaves are scattered around him. The tree has a thick trunk with vertical lines carved into it. The background is a mottled brown color, with some lighter areas suggesting sunlight filtering through the leaves. The overall style of the print is simple and rustic, with bold lines and minimal shading. The image conveys a sense of rural simplicity and a connection to nature.
