"Cucumber" is a still life painting created by American still life and trompe-l'œil artist, John Frederick Peto. Completed in 1890, this artwork serves as a classical representation of Peto's style, which was characterized by delicacy, detail, and subdued colors.

"Cucumber" showcases Peto's fascination with the crafting of illusion through visual ambiguity. The painting presents a sliced cucumber, a slice of brown bread, and a knife all arranged on a wooden table, evoking a sense of everyday simplicity and tranquility. Like Peto’s many other works, "Cucumber" effectively explores the theme of decay and the passage of time.

One of the remarkable elements of this piece is Peto’s meticulous rendering of the effects of natural light and his astonishing attention to the textures and details of the objects depicted. His usage of light, shadow, and juxtaposition creates a sense of depth and three-dimensionality, successfully tricking the viewer's eyes into perceiving a flat canvas as a three-dimensional scene.

"Cucumber" stands as a testament to Peto's capacity to weave visual narratives through ordinary objects, and it is an exemplar of late 19th-century American still life and trompe-l'œil painting. This work is currently housed in a private collection.
