still lifes
Painted bowl compositions
Still lifes is the plural of still life, a painting or photograph depicting inanimate objects—fruit, flowers, tableware, dead game.
The genre flourished in Dutch Golden Age painting, where artists rendered everyday objects with meticulous detail.
The plural still lifes is standard; still lives appears occasionally but sounds odd to most ears.
