Still Life; Fish 1908

William Merritt Chase's "Still Life; Fish" (1908) presents a classic example of the still life genre. This work showcases Chase's mastery of depicting everyday objects in a refined and painterly manner. Two fish, a bell pepper, a tomato, and a pewter pitcher are arranged on a tabletop, creating a simple yet elegant composition. The dark background and subtle lighting contribute to the sense of realism and depth, enhancing the visual appeal of the subject matter.
