"Still Life with Pipe, Newspaper and Tobacco Pouch" is a painting by William Michael Harnett, an Irish-American painter known for his trompe-l'œil renderings of still life subjects. Executed in 1877, this work exemplifies Harnett's skill in creating highly realistic depictions of everyday objects that challenge the viewer's perception of reality and illusion.

The painting features an assortment of items typically associated with a leisurely repose, including a clay pipe, a folded newspaper, and a worn tobacco pouch. These objects are arranged on a wooden ledge or table, rendered with meticulous attention to texture, light, and shadow. Harnett's masterful use of oil paint to mimic the various surfaces—such as the translucence of glass, the roughness of wood, and the softness of the tobacco pouch—demonstrates his virtuosity and places him among the foremost American still life painters of the 19th century.

"Still Life with Pipe, Newspaper and Tobacco Pouch" is not only a testament to Harnett's technical prowess but also serves as a cultural artifact, reflecting the domestic life and habits of the period. The inclusion of a newspaper, for instance, may allude to the importance of print media in the daily lives of Americans during the late 1800s. The painting invites viewers to ponder the narrative behind the objects, suggesting moments of personal relaxation or contemplation.

As a significant work within Harnett's oeuvre, "Still Life with Pipe, Newspaper and Tobacco Pouch" contributes to the understanding of the trompe-l'œil tradition in American art. It is a prime example of the genre's capacity to deceive the eye and engage the mind, as well as its ongoing appeal to both art connoisseurs and the general public. The painting is held in a private collection, and its exhibition history and critical reception further underscore its importance in the study of American realism and the legacy of William Michael Harnett.
