Not on viewLabel TextJohn Frederick Peto often included familiar objects such as this lard oil lamp, match sticks, pipe, and books in his still life paintings. The intimate scale of the painting, careful placement of the objects, and deep shadow evoke a quiet scene of evening reading.
John Frederick Peto frecuentemente incluyó objetos familiares en sus pinturas, como la lámpara de grasa, la pipa, el palillo y el libro que vemos aquí. La escala íntima de la pintura, la colocación deliberada de los objetos y la sombra profunda establecen una tranquilidad, el ambiente para una noche de lectura.
