Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin (1699-1779) Return from the Market
Oil on canvas, 1739 Museu du Louvre, Paris
[ In the picture there is a young French cook. She has just returned from the market. In her hands there is bread and the sack with a rabbit, probably. In the background of the kitchen interior there are some bottles of wine. In the next room we see an old jar with water. Another young cook is speaking with a customer whom we hardly can see. ]
