A portrait of August Macke's wife, Elisabeth Gerhardt, holding a plate of apples. The painting is executed in a loose, expressive style, typical of the artist's Expressionist approach.

August Macke (1887-1914) was a German Expressionist painter, one of the leading members of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). His work is characterised by its bright colours and simplified forms, often depicting scenes of everyday life. Macke's career was cut short by his death in World War I at the age of 27. This painting depicts Macke's wife, Elisabeth Gerhardt, holding a plate of apples. She is positioned in front of a dark background with a yellow curtain draped to the right. Elisabeth wears a dark green dress with a patterned blue collar, covered by a pale yellow shawl. The apples on the plate are various colours, including yellow, green, and red. The painting is executed in a loose, expressive style, with visible brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the light and colour of the scene. The composition is simple yet effective, drawing the viewer's eye to the figure of Elisabeth and the still life of apples.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
