Materials & printing
Archival matte paper, 189 g/m² (10.3 mil), sourced from Japan, printed with multicolor water-based inkjet so every brushstroke stays crisp. Framed prints arrive ready to hang in a .75″ ayous-wood frame with an acrylite front.
Shipping & returns
Made to order and delivered in 5–8 business days (2–4 to print, 3–4 in transit). US shipping only for now. Because each print is made for your order, all sales are final — but if it arrives damaged or defective, send us a photo within 14 days and we’ll replace it free. Full policy.
Why is it this affordable?
A thin, flat margin on every piece — just enough to keep the store running. Most of what you pay is the print itself. We only sell sizes that reproduce at full quality, and we don’t mark up the large sizes the way most shops do.
About this work
A member of a prominent artistic family from Maryland and Pennsylvania, Raphaelle Peale was one of the first painters in the United States to specialize in still life. In this precisely arranged composition, he meticulously rendered the various surfaces and forms of fruits, nuts, and tableware. Influenced by 17th-century Dutch still lifes, Peale featured imported material goods, such as Chinese porcelain made for the American market, a luxury item symbolizing the increasing power and prosperity of the new nation. The large glass urn may hold strawberries grown out of season in greenhouses, called hothouses, an experiment undertaken at the family’s farm outside of Philadelphia.
