The apple stands for the fall of man, the woman is in the course of history anyway always the one who has to take the blame for everything... (Eve, Mary Magdalene, witches, the career woman...)
The motif is based on the man with the apple, by René Magritte, the portrait this time a woman. Portrait. On this motif, only the apple is kept in color, the person in the background in black and white.
In the Garden of Eden, according to the Old Testament, Adam and Eve were allowed to eat from all fruits, except from the tree of knowledge, the apple tree. But the devil in the form of a snake seduced Eve and Eve seduced Adam (again, the man is not to blame for anything at all... :-) ) and God banished Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. This story was and is of course excellent to be pulled out in all kinds of situations (original sin, sinful woman, witch burning, etc...).
The original is still available.
