Still Life with Ham is a mid-19th century still life painting by French artist Philippe Rousseau. Done in oil on canvas, the painting depicts a number of items set on a table. The work is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[1]
Description
The painting is intricately and intimately detailed; not only did Rousseau render a ham (described as "succulent" by one source)[1] and a fully set table, he also included an issue of Le Figaro (a prominent French newspaper) addressed to his home. The work is highly contemporaneous to the early 1870s.[1]
