![Paul Cézanne - Apples [1878-79] by Gandalf's Gallery](http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2809/11749012796_903cf42ea3.jpg)
The date of this work is thought to be 1878–79, but 1883–87 has also been proposed. The composition is apparently a pair of separate studies that are unrelated to any of Cézanne's known paintings. It once belonged to the painter Édouard Vuillard; either Vuillard or Cézanne's dealer, Ambroise Vollard, is believed to have added the brownish tone that now covers areas at the lower left and along the right edge.
