About the piece
Created in 1818 by Raphaelle Peale, the first professional American still life painter, this work exemplifies the artist's meticulous technique and sophisticated use of light. The composition centers on a delicate lattice bowl overflowing with fruit, set against a dark, atmospheric background that brings the warm tones of the oranges and the translucency of the grapes into sharp relief.
