Janet Fish's color lithograph "Preserved Peaches" turns a modest kitchen subject into a study of glass and light. The peaches sit in clear jars, their sliced fruit and syrup catching highlights that make the containers seem almost as important as the food inside. Dated to about 1975, the print belongs to the period when Fish, a painter known for close attention to glass and reflection, was working through the still-life subjects that defined her career. The Library of Congress records it under subjects tied to 1970s canning and preserving, a reminder of how home food preservation was still a familiar household ritual.
