About the piece
Created in 1769, this work by Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin is a pinnacle of the still-life genre. Chardin elevates humble ingredients—hanging fish, fresh radishes, and scallions—alongside elegant glass cruets and gougères pastries. The painting is celebrated for its sophisticated use of light and its ability to find profound beauty in the domestic and the everyday.
