Interpretation of Still Life with Peaches

Raphaelle Peale, American
Still-life with Peaches. Oil on panel, ca. 1816

Despite pleas from his father Charles Willson Peale, to forgo Still Life in favor of the more lucrative Portrait, Raphaelle Peale became one of the first Americans to make the still life his focus. Often a sense of anatomy augments his compositions. Here, the branches of the peach on the left might reference hungry fingers plucking a fruit. Although many artists depicted bountiful displays ,Peale generally focused on one or two types of fruit. While the fruits and porcelain basket are symbols of prosperity, Peale struggled financially. Whereas his brother was able to earn $100 a portrait, Peales averaged $15 for a still life.
