About the Artwork

This unusually intimate composition betrays Fantin’s debt to Chardin, the 18th-century master of still life who returned to art-historical fashion in the early 1860s. Carefully restricted to three peaches, a plate, and a fruit knife, the composition has a rapt quality, conveying to the viewer a sense of the painter’s own hushed absorption in his subject.
