Two apples stand out in this close-up, one green and one red, nestled together in a basket and filling most of the frame. Shot tightly, the picture turns an ordinary fruit bowl into a study of texture and color, with the waxy skins and the woven basket fibers catching the light. Pictorial images of common produce like this were popular in American magazines and advertising in the early twentieth century, when photographers used close framing to make everyday food look rich and appealing. The contrast between the cool green and warm red is what gives the picture its pull.
