Commentary: While the inclusion of animals, especially sheep, became typical in her work, Waters departed from this in "Still Life." Thought to be influenced by James Peale's "Still Life No. 2" from 1821, Waters used a darker palette than formerly, making skillful use of shadow. The detail of the fruit, particularly the berries, is suggestive of the influence of the early botanical illustrations with which she established her talent.
