Oil on canvas, 40 1/16 x 50 1/8 in. (101.7 x 127.3 cm). In the mid-nineteenth century, still-life painting underwent a revival in the northeastern United States. Working in a style based on Dutch models, which depicted a multitude of fruits and flowers, Severin Roesen cultivated a popular following with the German community in Pennsylvania. This composition, one of his most elaborate, portrays a grand arrangement of various fruits, a birds nest, and a finely painted glass of water, and conveys a sense of wealth and abundance.
