Still Life with Peaches, a Silver Goblet, Grapes, and Walnuts is a 1759 oil by Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, a Rococo painting work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
In the painting, a silver goblet sits on a table next to a pile of peaches. To the left of the peaches are some walnuts, and to the right are some grapes. The background is dark, and the overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation. The painting is done in oil paint, and the artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimension. The use of light and shadow adds to the overall mood of the painting.
