"Wrapped Lemons" is a celebrated still life painting by the American artist William Joseph McCloskey, created in 1889. This artwork is renowned for its hyper-realistic depiction of lemons wrapped in tissue paper, showcasing McCloskey's exceptional skill in rendering textures and surfaces with meticulous detail. The painting is a prime example of the trompe-l'œil (deceive the eye) technique, where the artist achieves an illusion of three-dimensionality on a flat surface, making the objects appear astonishingly real.

McCloskey, born in 1859, was a prominent figure in the American still life genre of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work, particularly "Wrapped Lemons," is often celebrated for its intricate attention to detail, the play of light and shadow, and the delicate portrayal of the lemons' translucent wrapping paper, which demonstrates his mastery over texture and form. The painting not only reflects McCloskey's technical prowess but also serves as a testament to the still life genre's potential for complexity and beauty in the portrayal of everyday objects.

"Wrapped Lemons" holds a significant place in American art history, exemplifying the period's fascination with realism and the ordinary subject matter elevated through extraordinary skill. The painting is frequently discussed in the context of McCloskey's broader oeuvre and the evolution of still life painting in America. It remains a critical piece for understanding the nuances of realism and the aesthetic values of the era, making it a subject of study for art historians and a cherished work among art enthusiasts.
