Still-life with Flute and Times, 1877, William Michael Harnett, American, 1848 - 1892, 11 5/8 ¡Ñ 15 11/16 in. (29.53 ¡Ñ 39.85 cm) (sight)18 1/2 ¡Ñ 22 1/2 ¡Ñ 2 1/2 in. (46.99 ¡Ñ 57.15 ¡Ñ 6.35 cm) (outer frame), Oil on canvas, United States, 19th century, In 1886, Irish-born William Harnett was arrested by New York police for displaying one of his paintings. His depiction of a five-dollar bill was so realistic he was charged with counterfeiting and scolded for wasting his talents on such endeavors. Clearly Harnett was a talented trompe l¡¦oeil, or 'trick the eye,' painter. Still-life with Flute and Times displays the same convincing deception: the mimetic stoneware texture of the stein and the thin, raised rim of the pipe bowl are created through meticulous layering and build-up of paint.
