| Day 65: Apple, gouache, 6x8 in., Otto |
A botanical relative of the rose, the apple goes back to the earliest phases of human settlement; its present size and sweetness results from long domestication of its small, sour prototype...it served as a common love gift in ancient Greece, where the apple was imagined as an attribute of Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
