"Tobacco Box, Pipe and Books" is a still life painting by the American trompe-l'œil (deceive the eye) painter John Frederick Peto (1854–1907). Created in the late 19th century, this work exemplifies Peto's skill in rendering everyday objects with meticulous detail and textural realism. The painting features a collection of items that would have been familiar and commonplace in the artist's time, including a tobacco box, a clay pipe, and an assortment of books.

John Frederick Peto is known for his carefully constructed compositions that often include personal or evocative objects, inviting viewers to ponder the narrative behind the assemblage. In "Tobacco Box, Pipe and Books," Peto's mastery of light, shadow, and perspective is evident, as he creates a convincing illusion of three-dimensionality on a two-dimensional surface. The arrangement of objects in the painting suggests a moment of leisure or contemplation, perhaps in a domestic or scholarly setting.

The painting is representative of Peto's broader body of work, which frequently explored themes of memory, the passage of time, and the transient nature of material possessions. As with many of Peto's paintings, "Tobacco Box, Pipe and Books" invites a closer examination of the textures and surfaces of the depicted objects, showcasing the artist's ability to capture the subtleties of worn leather, weathered wood, and the patina of age.

John Frederick Peto's work was often overshadowed by that of his contemporary, William Michael Harnett, another prominent figure in the trompe-l'œil genre. However, Peto's paintings have gained recognition for their unique aesthetic and emotional depth. "Tobacco Box, Pipe and Books" is a fine example of Peto's contribution to American art and the trompe-l'œil tradition, demonstrating his quiet yet compelling approach to still life painting.

The painting is part of the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and as a window into the visual culture of late 19th-century America.
