"His Mug and His Pipe" is a painting by the Irish-American artist William Michael Harnett, known for his trompe-l'œil still-life works that masterfully depict everyday objects with photographic realism. Created in 1884, this oil on canvas measures 14 x 10 inches and is part of Harnett's series of paintings that focus on the theme of the "Five Senses," which he executed in the early 1880s.

In "His Mug and His Pipe," Harnett presents a meticulously detailed composition that features a beer stein and a clay pipe, objects that would appeal to the sense of taste and smell, respectively. The painting showcases Harnett's skill in rendering textures and surfaces with such precision that they deceive the viewer's eye into believing the objects are three-dimensional. The mug and pipe are arranged against a dark, neutral background, which enhances the illusion of depth and solidity.

The work is emblematic of Harnett's fascination with the ordinary and his desire to elevate the mundane to the level of fine art through his extraordinary technical prowess. "His Mug and His Pipe" not only exemplifies Harnett's contribution to the trompe-l'œil genre but also reflects the broader cultural and social context of the late 19th century in America, where there was a growing appreciation for realism and an interest in the detailed depiction of commonplace objects.

"His Mug and His Pipe" is held in a private collection, and it continues to be a subject of interest for scholars studying American still-life painting and the history of trompe-l'œil art. The painting is representative of Harnett's work during a period when he had achieved significant recognition and success as an artist, and it remains a testament to his legacy as one of the leading figures in the development of trompe-l'œil painting in the United States.
