This mesmerizing piece of art, measuring 76.2x101.6 cm, can be found in The Putnam Foundation at the Timken Museum of Art in San Diego, USA. The painting depicts a serene scene within a library from the late 19th century.

A solitary candlestick stands tall amidst the books, casting a warm glow on its surroundings and adding an element of mystery to the composition. The flickering flame symbolizes knowledge and enlightenment as it illuminates this tranquil space. Peto's mastery lies in his ability to bring still life paintings to life with his meticulous brushwork and realistic rendering techniques.
