The painting shows a man wearing a gray coat and a brimmed hat while his face is completely covered with a green apple. Magritte created this work in 1964 after many requests from Magritte to paint a self-portrait. The unexpected hiding of the face behind a green apple indicates the painter's lack of attention to identity and the fame that results from this identity. In his works, Magritte has always challenged people's beliefs, sense of curiosity and predetermined assumptions and tries to show the audience how naively and confidently he talks about facts that are beyond his knowledge. Magritte himself said about this work: Everything we see hides something else. We always want to see what is hidden with what we see, but this is not possible. Humans hide their secrets very well.
