"Still Life II" is a painting by William Michael Harnett, an Irish-American painter renowned for his trompe-l'œil renderings of still life subjects. Created in 1882, this work exemplifies Harnett's skill in depicting everyday objects with astonishing realism. The painting is part of Harnett's larger body of work that often features arrangements of books, musical instruments, and other household items, meticulously painted to create an illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional canvas.

In "Still Life II," Harnett presents a carefully arranged composition that invites viewers to ponder the materiality and texture of the depicted objects. His attention to detail and masterful use of light and shadow enhance the tactile qualities of the items, making them appear tangible. The artwork reflects the artist's fascination with the aesthetic potential of ordinary objects and their ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and contemplation.

As a key figure in the American still life genre of the late 19th century, Harnett's work, including "Still Life II," played a significant role in the development of realism in American art. His paintings are celebrated for challenging viewers' perceptions of reality and artifice, and "Still Life II" is a prime example of his ability to blur the line between the two. The painting is not only a testament to Harnett's technical prowess but also to his philosophical inquiry into the nature of representation and the power of visual illusion.

"Still Life II" is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the American still life tradition and its place within the broader context of art history.
