Wine, Cheese, and Fruit

An American table laid for pleasure — bottles, glasses, a heaped dish of fruit.

What

A mid-19th-century American still life: dark and pale bottles, filled glasses, a wheel of cheese, and a gilt-edged dish heaped with grapes, apples, and nuts.

Why

The abundance picture in its purest form — a table that exists only to say there is plenty. A faithful reproduction of a public-domain painting at The Art Institute of Chicago.

Notice

Three bottles, several glasses, one table — the still life counts the evening for you.

“Plenty is its own kind of portrait.”
