"Apples and Leaves" (1879) is a notable work by the prominent Russian realist painter Ilya Efimovich Repin. Born into a military family in the Ukrainian town of Chuguyev in the Kharkov Governorate of the Russian Empire (present-day Ukraine), Repin (1844–1930) became one of the most famous Russian artists of his time, celebrated for his portrayal of the Russian society, historical scenes, and the psychological depth in his character studies.

The painting "Apples and Leaves" is a fine example of Repin's attention to detail and his ability to capture the simple beauty of everyday life. Created during a period when Repin was actively involved with the Peredvizhniki (Wanderers or Itinerants), a cooperative of Russian realist artists who sought to engage with the public through traveling exhibitions, the work reflects the movement's ethos of depicting the natural and social realities of the time.

In "Apples and Leaves," Repin presents a seemingly mundane subject—a branch of apple leaves with fruit—yet he imbues it with a sense of vibrancy and immediacy that elevates the scene. The painting is characterized by its fine brushwork, the play of light and shadow, and the realistic rendering of textures and colors. The artwork not only showcases Repin's skill as a painter of still life but also offers a glimpse into the Russian rural life and its connection to nature.

While the painting may not be as well-known as Repin's larger genre scenes or portraits, "Apples and Leaves" is a testament to the artist's versatility and his dedication to capturing the essence of his subjects, whether they be peasants, historical figures, or the simple beauty of apples on a branch. The work is preserved in a collection that highlights the significance of Repin's contribution to Russian art and the cultural heritage of the period.

As with many of Repin's works, "Apples and Leaves" is appreciated for its technical mastery and the insight it provides into the artist's world. It remains an important piece within the broader context of 19th-century Russian art and the realist movement that sought to forge a deep connection between art and society.
