"Still Life with a Pipe, Candlestand and Book" is a painting by Claude Raguet Hirst, an American artist known for her detailed still-life works. Hirst, born Clarissa Peters (1855–1942), was a prominent figure in the trompe-l'œil (deceive the eye) genre of still-life painting during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular painting exemplifies her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to imbue inanimate objects with a sense of presence and narrative.

In "Still Life with a Pipe, Candlestand and Book," Hirst arranges commonplace objects to create a composition that is both visually compelling and rich in symbolism. The depicted items—a pipe, a candlestand, and a book—may allude to the intellectual and sensory pleasures of contemplation and leisure. The pipe, often associated with contemplation and relaxation, may represent the personal indulgences of the time. The candlestand, with its potential for illumination, could symbolize enlightenment or the passage of time, while the book might suggest the pursuit of knowledge or the comfort found in literature.

Hirst's work is characterized by her ability to render textures and surfaces with astonishing realism, from the gleam of metal and glass to the softness of tobacco leaves. Her paintings often invite the viewer to look closely, to appreciate the skill with which she recreates the weight and texture of objects. "Still Life with a Pipe, Candlestand and Book" is no exception, showcasing Hirst's virtuosity in capturing the interplay of light and shadow, as well as the subtle reflections and textures of the various materials.

As a female artist working in a genre dominated by men, Hirst carved out a unique place for herself in the American art scene. Her paintings, including "Still Life with a Pipe, Candlestand and Book," not only demonstrate her technical prowess but also contribute to the broader narrative of American still-life painting at the turn of the century. This work is a testament to Hirst's dedication to her craft and her role in the evolution of still-life painting in the United States.
