About Still Life with a Basket of Peaches and Grapes: Louise Moillon's Still Life with a Basket of Peaches and Grapes (1636) presents a quiet yet sumptuous study of natural abundance. A wicker basket brims with ripe peaches and clusters of green and purple grapes, their rounded forms illuminated against a deep, shadowed background. The fruit spills gently over the edge, framed by curling grapevines and leaves tinged with crimson and decay. Moillon's meticulous attention to texture - the bloom on the grapes, the fuzz on the peaches, the weave of the basket- heightens the painting's realism. The stone ledge beneath anchors the composition, its solidity contrasting the organic vitality above. Every detail is deliberate, yet the arrangement feels effortless, as if freshly gathered from the garden. Light glances across the fruit, revealing both ripeness and transience. In this stillness, Moillon captures the fleeting perfection of nature, suspended between life and loss. // Image Credit: Louise Moillon, 1636, Courtesy National Gallery of Art, Washington

Nuthatches are skilled foragers often found in woodlands and gardens across North America, Europe, and Asia. Nuthatches are known for their ability to move headfirst down tree trunks and even hang upside-down while foraging for insects and seeds. They build their nests in tree cavities and crevices, often using mud and other materials to seal the entrance and create a cozy, safe space for raising their young. The name "nuthatch" comes from the bird's feeding behavior. These beautiful birds have a unique way of opening nuts, such as acorns or hazelnuts. They wedge the nuts in a crevice and use their strong bills to hammer or "hatch" them open. This puzzle is based on an 1768 illustration by James Bolton.
