Trompe l'oeil oil on board painting. Trick of the eye still life of a hand towel, a folding ruler, envelope and an almanac dated 1831. Most likely, the mundane everyday items used in this work of art are representations of the pursuit of labor, education, reading, math and science. The skill and artistry of visually fooling the viewer comes to us in the time honored tradition of the great Early American troupe l'oeil painter, Charles Willson Peale. A true jewel that probably dates the work to the Mid-19th Century from the Upstate New York or New England. Unsigned.
The board's measurements are approximately 24.5" wide x 31.5" high. The board depth is approximately .13".
Good overall restored condition. The work has been professionally and lightly cleaned and varnished. There was a split down the middle and older wood cleats were added for strength. Wear to edges and corners (see photos).
