A 19th-century still-life oil painting attributed to the American School, depicting a woven basket overflowing with ripe red raspberries. The composition features loose berries and green leaves arranged across the tabletop, rendered in the realistic, trompe-l'oeil style that became popular among American artists during the mid-to-late 19th century. The focus on texture, natural color, and rustic subject matter aligns with works by painters such as Edward Chalmers Leavitt, August Laux, and Levi Wells Prentice.

The artwork appears to be executed in oil on canvas or board and is housed in its original carved wood frame with gold gilt detailing. Landscape oriented and fitted with hanging hardware, it remains a charming and classic example of 19th-century American still-life painting, celebrated for its attention to detail and depiction of nature's abundance.
