Label TextGood created still life prints, perhaps because she could use objects readily accessible to her in her home. This still life is composed of apples, grapes, plums, pears, a banana, and a pair of sewing scissors. The background is divided between lights and darks. Good romanticizes, in Renaissance style, her still life to allude to abundance and reflect earlier, more plentiful times.
