Art deco' genre scene depicting in the foreground a woman probably a guardian a intent on cutting an apple to give to a typical child of the 1920s/30s.

Behind the two figures in the foreground is a young red-haired woman intent on sewing.

The scene takes place indoors, and as a background we find a vase of flowers and draperies.

The main light source comes from the window on the left, this choice gives the painting movement given through natural light.

Despite being a family scene the painting is austere and conveys a severity probably due to the war years.

Thanks to the interiors and clothing we can guess that the characters are part of a wealthy social class.
