Still Life with Oranges and Goblet of Wine c. 1880s - 1890s

"Still Life with Oranges and Goblet of Wine" is a painting by American artist John Frederick Peto from the late 19th century. This small-scale artwork, measuring just 15.6 x 23.2 cm, features a simple arrangement of three oranges, a peeled orange segment, and a goblet of wine. Peto's meticulous attention to detail and use of chiaroscuro create a sense of realism and depth, characteristic of his trompe l'oeil style. The painting's muted palette and subtle lighting emphasize the quiet stillness of the objects, inviting viewers to contemplate their fleeting nature.
