information from the Kimbell Art Museum catalog

description: Adapting the subjects of Dutch cabinet pictures and still lifes of the previous century to French taste, Chardin elevated these genres to the very highest level. His works are exceptional in their sentient depiction of everyday experience and observed reality. Few artists have ever equaled the subtlety of his vision or the sensitivity of his technique, with its richly textured impasto and muted coloration.
