Stealing Apples
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Karl Witkowski is a captivating oil painting that captures the mischievousness and innocence of childhood in the nineteenth century. In this close-up portrait style artwork, we see a young boy with brown hair leaning against a fence, his head turned away as he looks over his shoulder. With a cheeky smile on his face, he gazes directly at the camera, revealing both his playful temperament and youthful energy. The natural light of summertime illuminates the scene, highlighting the vibrant colors of the fruit hanging from nearby trees. The artist skillfully portrays the stolen apples falling from the boy's hands, adding an element of action to this otherwise still moment. Dressed in traditional apparel and wearing a hat, this caucasian child exudes happiness despite being caught in an act of theft. His expression suggests both aversion to getting caught and delight in his naughty behavior. Witkowski's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the texture of clothing to each strand of dark hair. This small group portrait beautifully captures not only a stolen moment but also provides insight into rural life during that era. This timeless piece invites viewers to reflect on their own memories of childhood mischief while appreciating Witkowski's artistic talent and ability to capture human nature with such depth and charm.
