In 1728 Chardin was admitted to the French Academy, and achieved immediate and lasting fame as a painter of still life. This picture is unusual in that it combines motifs from the kitchen and from elegant society. The covered silver tureen is an expensive vessel which he must have borrowed. Chardin paints the feathers of the bird and the coat of the hare with great subtlety, contrasting their stiffening stillness with the tense body of the crouching cat. The composition is unbalanced and the fruit is overly large in scale.

Select the product material of your choice

In the product dropdown menu you can pick a material and a size of your choice. The following options are available for individualization:

• Acrylic glass print: A glossy acrylic glass print, which is often named as a UV print on plexiglass, transforms the original into great décor. The major benefit of an acrylic glass print is that sharp contrasts and painting details become more exposed thanks to the subtle tonal gradation in the picture.
• The poster print (canvas material): A poster is a UV printed canvas with a nice structure on the surface. A poster print is suited for putting your art copy in a customized frame. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the work of art, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• The canvas print: The printed canvas material applied on a wooden stretcher frame. The canvas generates a lovely and warm appearance. Your printed canvas of your favorite artpiece will provide you with the chance of turning your art print into a large artwork as you would see in a gallery.
