Apple Picking - George Barbier Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.

Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

She is tending, not taking. In George Barbier's Apple Picking, she rises on tiptoe in pink ballet slippers, eyes closed, smiling, a wide basket of red and green apples held against her hip. Above her a black bird flies toward the single apple still hanging at the end of an autumn branch.

Rome's goddess of orchards, Pomona, was tied to the flourishing of the trees and not the harvest, and her emblem was a pruning knife. She takes what a basket can hold and leaves the highest apple, like a gardener's blade stopping short of the last bud, so the tree is not asked for everything. No one on the hill will know the difference, so the restraint earns her no praise, only a tree that may be generous again next spring. The flat green of the hill recalls the stencil colored fashion plates of the Gazette du Bon Ton, launched in 1912, where Barbier wrote.

In your kitchen, green light from the hill pours across the counter beside a bowl of fruit. The autumn orange of the branch warms the window like late sun through a jar of marmalade. Leave the last apple in the bowl for whoever wakes next, and the morning tastes of a debt paid forward, crisp and cold on the tongue.
