Martin Johnson Heade painted approximately 150 floral still life compositions during his long career. In this relatively stark example, a single branch of apple blossoms is propped on a tabletop and supported by an undecorated wall. The artist was very fond of flowers and took pleasure in gathering and arranging bouquets, especially for his breakfast table.
