About the Item

Pristine and purely American in its aesthetic due to the fact that the artist concentrates on one type of fruit. Europeans were much more opulent in their approach to still lifes and the American true to the time might depict just apples or plums and sometimes even just sitting on the table as opposed to fussy porcelains. The peaches are potentially a metaphor for honesty and purity. The artist chose a glass dish so he could be challenged to do a material you had to see through as well as being able to show the peaches in full. Early American still lives that are fairly academic and not primitive are hard to find. Few Americans were trained at this time as there were few teachers and one really had to go to Europe for that training. Batcheller seemed to do mostly still lifes but few appear in the market and almost none at auction that are as good as this one. It is in an exceptional Frederich Edwin Church frame of wonderful design and quality! This is a museum quality work and might be earlier than 1870 as well. Canvas inside frame measures 12 3/4 x 16 3/4 inches
