"The Apple" (1929)

Illustration by Kay Nielsen

Kay Nielsen's "The Apple" was prepared in 1929, with publication in The Tatler following some 3 years hence.

It depicts an allegorical scene of the well-known Biblical tale of temptation. As presented by Nielsen, the part

of Adam is played by the tragic figure of Pierrot, Eve's temptation is depicted through Pierrot's consideration of

the apple crowned with a sensuous female form and Satan is shown as the flaming snake resting in the Apple

Tree. Similar iconographic imagery is also present within the extensive integrated ornamental border.
