Boy with Apple
2012 painting by Michael Taylor
Boy with Apple is a 21st-century painting by British artist Michael Taylor. Painted on commission for use as a prop in Wes Anderson's 2014 film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, the fictional backstory written for Boy with Apple played a major role in the film's plot.
The portrait depicts a boy clad in Renaissance-style garb holding (pinching with one hand and squeezing hard with the other) a green apple.[1] The model for the portrait was actor Ed Munro.[2]
