"A Dessert" (also known as "Still Life with Lemons and Oranges") is a notable painting by Raphaelle Peale, an American artist recognized as one of the first professional still life painters in the United States. Created in 1814, this work is an exemplar of Peale's meticulous attention to detail and his pioneering role in establishing still life as a significant genre in American art.

The painting features a restrained composition that is characteristic of Peale's style, depicting a selection of fruit, a glass of wine, and a partially peeled lemon, all arranged on a simple tabletop. The artwork is celebrated for its realistic portrayal and the artist's skillful use of light and shadow, which imbue the scene with a sense of freshness and tangibility. The textures of the fruit skins, the translucency of the wine glass, and the reflective properties of the silver goblet are rendered with precision, showcasing Peale's technical virtuosity.

"A Dessert" not only reflects the aesthetic values of the early 19th century but also provides insight into the cultural and social context of the period. The inclusion of luxury items such as citrus fruits and fine tableware speaks to the themes of domesticity, prosperity, and the burgeoning middle class in post-revolutionary America.

The painting is held in high regard within the canon of American art history and is often cited as a significant contribution to the development of still life painting in the United States. It is frequently included in discussions of Peale's oeuvre and the broader context of American still life painting in the early 1800s. "A Dessert" is part of the collection of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and the public alike.
