About the piece
Painted around 1730 by Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, this work is a quintessential example of French game still life. The artist uses a subdued, earthy palette to highlight the tactile qualities of the mallard's feathers and the waxy skin of the orange, creating a quiet yet powerful composition. Its balance of naturalism and sophisticated lighting makes it a timeless addition to traditional interiors.
