The artwork, titled “Female Nude Holding Apple,” was painted by Andre Derain in 1941. This piece measures 174 x 124 cm and belongs to the Neoclassical art movement. It falls under the genre of nude paintings.
The artwork features a full-length depiction of a nude female figure standing against a dark background. The woman holds an apple in her left hand, while her right hand rests gently by her side. Her body is illuminated by a soft light that highlights the contours and solidity of her form. A white cloth is draped over a dark object behind her, adding contrast and depth to the scene. The overall composition and the restrained use of color emphasize the classical ideals of harmony, proportion, and poise.
