Music and Literature (1878) by William Harnett is a vintage Victorian fine art still life realist painting featuring a beautiful scene that any musician would enjoy. A stack of books for reading, sheet music, woodwind musical instruments, a candlestick with candle and a feather quill pen in an inkwell. About the artist: William Michael Harnett (1848-1892) was an Irish-American painter who practiced a trompe l'oeil (literally translated means "fool the eye") style of realistic painting. His realism still lifes of ordinary objects, arranged on a ledge or hanging from a nail, are painted in such a way that the painting can be mistaken for the objects themselves.
