Still Life with Peaches and Grapes — Renoir, 1881, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Art Postcard

Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted Still Life with Peaches and Grapes in 1881, the same fruit-heavy year as several of his finest table pictures. A porcelain bowl holds soft peaches; bunches of green and purple grapes lie across the white tablecloth. The painting is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. As a postcard, it is a museum-grade still life on the kitchen wall or in a thank-you envelope to an art-loving host — a way of saying: I came to dinner, here is a Renoir back.
