"Apfelschaler" (English: "Apple Peeler") is a notable painting by the Swiss artist Ferdinand Hodler (1853–1918), a leading figure in the Symbolist and Art Nouveau movements. Created in 1882, this work exemplifies Hodler's early interest in genre scenes and daily life, prior to his evolution towards a more symbolic and monumental style. The painting depicts a young boy in the midst of peeling an apple, a subject that captures a moment of simplicity and concentration.

Measuring 55.5 by 46.5 centimeters, "Apfelschaler" is executed in oil on canvas. The composition is characterized by a keen attention to detail and a realistic portrayal of the subject, reflecting Hodler's training and the influence of realism on his early work. The painting's focus on a solitary figure engaged in a mundane task is indicative of Hodler's interest in the individual and their psychological state, themes that would become more pronounced in his later works.

"Apfelschaler" is significant for its demonstration of Hodler's technical skill and his ability to convey a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The artwork is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Hodler's development as an artist and his place within the broader context of European art at the turn of the 20th century.

As a piece that predates Hodler's more iconic Symbolist works, such as "The Night" and his series of landscapes, "Apfelschaler" offers insight into the formative years of his artistic career. It remains an important work for scholars and enthusiasts of Hodler's oeuvre, as well as for those interested in the transition from realism to symbolism in the history of art.
