A triptych painting with three vertical panels, each depicting a stylized scene with golden apples and a dark, moody atmosphere.
The left panel features a white-skinned woman with dark, curly hair, wearing a flowing, light-colored dress or translucent fabric. She is seated or perched on the dark branches of a tree with dark leaves, looking upwards and to the left with a serene expression. The background behind her is a warm, textured golden color, with some golden apples hanging from the branches.
The middle panel shows numerous golden apples, some hanging from dark branches at the top, others seemingly suspended in mid-air or floating.

Her arms are extended upwards, and her legs are bent at the knees, with her bare feet and lower legs clearly visible. Several golden apples
