Still Life with Apples

Still Life - Study of Apples, William Rickarby Miller - 1862

Doesn't this look remarkably fresh and modern? I feel as if I could reach in and get a delicious piece of fruit.

I'm really lucky that the Central Market has about 20 varieties of apples right now. You walk into that section and the apple smell just fills the air. This painting makes me want to head right over there!
