Oil on panel, 9 1/2 x 11 5/16 in. (24.1 x 28.7 cm). A Poor Mans Still Lifes With a few objects arranged on a ledge before an indistinct background, Raphaelle Peales paintings suggest a restraint that perhaps reflects the impoverished circumstances of the artists life. Still Life with Cake portrays only a blemished apple, raisins, and a “poor mans pound cake,” usually made from leftover dough, to which sugar or nutmeg would be added. In Still Life with Peaches, the relatively expensive dessert bowl adds refinement to the composition, but in all likelihood, Peale did not own it.
