About the piece

Painted in 1821 by Raphaelle Peale, the first professional still-life painter in America, this work showcases a masterful handling of light and texture. The composition centers on a reticulated basket of peaches, complemented by the soft bloom of grapes and the warm, golden tones of fruit against a moody chiaroscuro background.
