Description
A striking mid-century folk art print by Antoine Serneels, depicting a serene female figure holding a bowl of vivid red apples. Rendered in rich blues, greens, and earth tones, the composition balances graphic simplicity with expressive color, a hallmark of postwar European folk-influenced modernism.
The subject's stylized features, flattened perspective, and symbolic use of fruit evoke themes of domestic ritual, femininity, and abundance. Elements often explored in global folk traditions.
The print is beautifully framed in its original mid-century wood frame with a warm gold inner liner and soft green mat, complementing the artwork's palette and period character.
The reverse includes a biographical clipping about the artist, adding provenance and collectible interest. A wonderful statement piece for interiors leaning folk, global, bohemian, or mid-century modern, equally at home in a living space, gallery wall, or curated collection.

Condition Notes: Very good vintage condition. Light, age-appropriate wear to the frame and mat; print remains vibrant and well-preserved.
