About the piece
Created around 1728 by the French master Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, this work exemplifies his ability to find dignity in domestic objects. The composition focuses on the interplay between the reflective surfaces of a tin pitcher and the soft, matte textures of peaches and plums. Chardin's use of a somber, neutral background allows the subtle luminosity of the subjects to command the viewer's attention.
