About the piece
Painted in 1866 by Robert Spear Dunning, a leading figure of the Fall River School, this work is a quintessential example of American still-life painting. Dunning captures the tactile contrast between the rough wooden 'berry box' and the luminous, glossy skins of the cherries, which are echoed in the deep reflections of the polished surface below.
