Un lapin, deux grives morts et quelques grains de paille sur une table de pierre, or A rabbit, two dead thrushes and a few grains of straw on a stone table, oil painting on canvas, c. 1755, by Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin, 1699-1779, in the Musee de la Chasse et de la Nature, Paris, France. Chardin is an 18th century French painter known for his oil paintings of still life and genre scenes. The concentration on only a few elements and delicate application of paint in his hunting still lifes shows great empathy for his subjects. Picture by Manuel Cohen
