About the piece

This 1728 oil painting by Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin exemplifies the artist's ability to elevate humble subjects through sophisticated light and texture. The composition features two rabbits alongside a hunting bag and powder flask, with a single orange in the foreground providing a subtle warmth against the rich, dark background characteristic of Chardin's early career.
