About the piece

Painted in 1759 by Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, this still life is a masterclass in observational realism and texture. Chardin contrasts the velvety fuzz of the peaches against the hard, polished surface of the silver goblet, bringing a quiet, dignified presence to everyday objects through masterful use of light and shadow.
