Book, Mug, Pipe and Match" is an exemplar of the American still-life genre by renowned trompe-l'oeil painter John Frederick Peto (4–1907). Created during the latter part of the 19th century — a period of heightened interest in the trompe-l'oeil, or "fool the eye" technique — painting is a vivid manifestation of Peto's ability to render everyday objects with remarkable realism.

The composition features an array of antique and everyday objects — a worn-out book, a simple mug, a smokers' pipe, and a match — arranged in a casual setting that suggests ephemerality. The deliberate positioning of the objects and the meticulous detail bestowed on each item reflect Peto's fascination with textural nuances and weathered surfaces, thereby showcasing his distinct aesthetic vision that differentiated him from his contemporaries in the genre.

Within the realms of American still-life painting, Peto's work is acknowledged for its melancholic and contemplative atmosphere, a characteristic that is evident in "Book, Mug, Pipe and Match." Despite the humbleness of the subject matter, Peto's unique stylistic expression and introspective treatment of his chosen objects elevate the painting from a mere imitation of reality to an exploration of deeper, universal themes such as the transience of life and the underappreciated beauty in overlooked common items.

While "Book, Mug, Pipe and Match" is not as widely recognized as some of Peto's other works, it carries a representational significance that articulates his lasting contribution to the American still-life tradition and reinforces his esteemed place in the annals of art history.
