Still Life with Ginger Jar" is anar painting of the late nineteenth-century American artist William Michael Harnett (1848–1892), renowned for his trompe-l'œil renditions. While the specific year of the painting's creation remains debatable among art historians, its intricate detailing and realistic representation reflect Harnett's stylistic tendencies and artistic maturity, placing it in the latter part of his career, likely between 1880 and 1890.

The painting highlights Harnett's exceptional skill in rendering textures and details, with objects such as a ginger jar, books, and other everyday items meticulously depicted to present an illusion of physical reality. The composition's overall result was an impressive depth of field, rendering a compelling three-dimensional illusion on a two-dimensional canvas.

In "Still Life with Ginger Jar," Harnett adhered to the aesthetic principles of the trompe-l'œil genre, creating a narrative from the arrangement and presentation of inanimate objects. The ginger jar, as the central object and the title suggest, particularly captures attention, with its gleaming surface and intricate oriental pattern indicating Harnett's keen observation skills and detailed brushwork.

This painting represents not only Harnett's artistic craft but also the American artistic tradition of the late nineteenth century, falling under the sub-genre called 'rack painting,' due to the use of wooden rack in the composition. "Still Life with Ginger Jar" underscores Harnett's esteemed place within this tradition and marks a significant contribution to the genre. Today, the work is considered a notable piece within the artist’s oeuvre and an influential work in American still life painting.
