"A New Variety, Try One" is a trompe-l'œil still-life painting by the American artist De Scott Evans, who was known for his realistic and illusionistic artworks. Created in 1887, the painting is a testament to Evans' skill in rendering objects with such detail and precision that they appear three-dimensional and tangible. The artwork features a depiction of a paper bag pinned to a wooden surface, with chestnuts spilling out of the torn bag, inviting viewers to reach out and 'try one'. The painting's title is incorporated into the composition, with the words "A New Variety, Try One" prominently displayed on the bag, further enhancing the illusion that the viewer is looking at an actual bag of chestnuts rather than a painted representation.

Evans' work is often celebrated for its meticulous attention to texture, light, and shadow, which are all evident in "A New Variety, Try One". The painting is a fine example of the trompe-l'œil genre, which flourished in the United States during the late 19th century. This genre of painting is characterized by the trickery of the eye, encouraging a playful interaction between the artwork and the observer. De Scott Evans, under the pseudonym S.S. David, specialized in this genre, and his works are characterized by their wit and visual puns.

"A New Variety, Try One" is not only a demonstration of Evans' artistic prowess but also reflects the cultural and commercial aspects of the period in which it was created. The inclusion of commercial packaging and advertising in art was a relatively new development in the late 19th century, and Evans' painting can be seen as an early precursor to the Pop Art movement of the mid-20th century, which also explored the boundaries between art and commercialism.

The painting is part of the collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, where it is displayed and appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance. As with many of Evans' works, "A New Variety, Try One" continues to engage and intrigue audiences with its lifelike appearance and clever illusionism.
