"The Apple Gatherers" (German: "Die Apfelpflücker") is an engraving by William Woollett, an English engraver renowned for his works during the 18th century. Created in 1779, the piece is based on a painting by the artist George Smith of Chichester, and it exemplifies Woollett's mastery of the medium and his ability to translate the bucolic charm and detailed pastoral scenes of paintings into the engraved form.

The engraving depicts a serene rural scene where figures are engaged in the activity of gathering apples, a theme that resonates with the pastoral and idyllic visions of the countryside popular in art and literature of the time. The composition is carefully constructed to lead the viewer's eye through the scene, with attention to the play of light and shadow that enhances the three-dimensional effect of the image.

William Woollett was celebrated for his skill in capturing the essence of the original paintings, and "The Apple Gatherers" is considered one of his significant works that contributed to his reputation. The engraving not only showcases Woollett's technical prowess but also reflects the cultural and artistic values of the period, where there was a romanticized view of rural life and a growing appreciation for the natural world.

"The Apple Gatherers" is a testament to the collaborative relationship between painters and engravers of the time, demonstrating how engravings could disseminate popular artworks to a broader audience. Woollett's engravings were highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs, and his work played a pivotal role in the development of the British school of engraving. The piece remains an important example of 18th-century British art and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and historical significance.
