"Still Life With Watermelon, Grapes, Peaches And Pears" is a 19th-century oil painting by American artist William Mason Brown (1828–1898). Known for his detailed and realistic still life compositions, Brown's work is often characterized by its vivid colors and intricate depiction of textures and surfaces. This particular painting exemplifies the trompe-l'œil (deceive the eye) style that was popular among still life painters of the period, aiming to create an illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional canvas.

The painting features an arrangement of ripe fruits, including a prominently placed watermelon with its rich red flesh exposed, surrounded by clusters of grapes, lush peaches, and pears. The composition is carefully balanced, with the fruits rendered in varying stages of ripeness, suggesting the transience of life and the fleeting nature of earthly pleasures—a common theme in still life art known as 'memento mori'. The play of light and shadow is masterfully handled, highlighting the textures of the fruit skins and the reflective properties of their juicy interiors.

William Mason Brown was part of the American still life tradition that flourished in the mid-to-late 1800s, particularly in the Northeastern United States. His work is often compared to that of his contemporaries, such as John F. Francis and Raphaelle Peale, who also specialized in the genre. "Still Life With Watermelon, Grapes, Peaches And Pears" not only showcases Brown's skill as a painter but also provides insight into the cultural and aesthetic values of the time, when still life painting was a vehicle for both artistic exploration and the celebration of nature's bounty.

This painting is a testament to Brown's reputation as a master of the still life genre and remains an important piece within the canon of American art history. It is held in high regard by art historians and collectors alike and continues to be studied for its technical prowess and its embodiment of 19th-century American still life painting.
