All five of the Pecci paintings at the New Deal Gallery shuffle elements from each other, such as a table perhaps common to all. In this still life, a pictorial jug from his “Fruit and Flowers (1)” receives a 90-degree turn so that its handle can be seen and image recognized. Mount Vesuvius, which underwent a series of eruptions between 1913 and 1944, smolders in the background to a sailboat on the Bay of Naples. The small painting hung at upper right may be one of the villages along this coast—in any event, all objects signifying a beloved homeland.
