"Take Your Choice" (1885) is a notable still life painting by the American artist John Frederick Peto, who is recognized for his contributions to the trompe-l'œil genre. Trompe-l'œil, which means "deceive the eye" in French, is a technique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that depicted objects exist in three dimensions. Peto, along with his contemporary William Harnett, is considered one of the foremost practitioners of this style in the United States during the late 19th century.

The painting "Take Your Choice" exemplifies Peto's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to render objects with striking realism. The composition typically features an array of everyday items, often including books, papers, and other ephemera, arranged in a manner that invites the viewer to closely examine the textures and surfaces. Peto's work is characterized by a sense of intimacy and a focus on the mundane, yet he elevates these ordinary objects to a level of fine art through his skillful use of light, shadow, and perspective.

"Take Your Choice" reflects Peto's fascination with the passage of time and the transient nature of material possessions. The objects depicted often show signs of wear and age, suggesting a narrative of use and history. This thematic focus on the ephemeral is a hallmark of Peto's oeuvre and contributes to the contemplative quality of his work.

John Frederick Peto's paintings, including "Take Your Choice," were not widely recognized during his lifetime, and he spent much of his career in relative obscurity. However, his work has since gained significant appreciation and is now celebrated for its technical mastery and evocative subject matter. Today, "Take Your Choice" is considered an important example of American trompe-l'œil painting and is studied for its artistic and historical significance.
