"Still Life with Letter to Thomas B. Clarke" is a notable painting by the American artist William Michael Harnett, created in 1879. Harnett, renowned for his meticulous and realistic still-life compositions, was a master of trompe-l'œil, a technique that creates the optical illusion of three-dimensionality. This particular work exemplifies his skill in rendering everyday objects with astonishing detail and precision.

The painting features a carefully arranged assortment of items, including a letter addressed to Thomas B. Clarke, a prominent art collector of the time. Clarke was known for his discerning taste and support of American artists, and his patronage played a significant role in Harnett's career. The inclusion of Clarke's name in the painting not only personalizes the work but also serves as a testament to the relationship between the artist and the collector.

In "Still Life with Letter to Thomas B. Clarke," Harnett's attention to detail is evident in the textures and surfaces of the depicted objects. The composition includes a variety of materials, such as paper, metal, and wood, each rendered with a high degree of realism. The letter, with its carefully inscribed address, is a focal point, drawing the viewer's eye and inviting closer inspection.

Harnett's use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensional effect, making the objects appear tangible and within reach. This painting, like many of Harnett's works, challenges the viewer's perception and blurs the line between reality and representation. "Still Life with Letter to Thomas B. Clarke" is a prime example of Harnett's contribution to the genre of still life and his ability to elevate everyday objects to the realm of fine art.
