Beside it stand an inkwell holding a quill, a rolled sheet and two books, and a drawer at the front of the table is pulled open. The wall behind him is divided into broad bands of olive and ochre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Museu de Arte de São Paulo says the boy was the son of a jeweller and banker for whom Chardin made many other works. He watches the top spin, distracted from the books, inkwell and parchment on his desk, a theme of children's education that recurs in French painting of the period. The museum adds that the top is understood as a symbol of the instability of childish character and of fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, 1741; Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP), São Paulo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJean-Siméon Chardin (1699–1779) was a French painter who spent his life in Paris. Admitted to the Royal Academy in 1728 as a painter of animals and fruit, he became the century's great master of still life — kitchen vessels, game and fruit painted with a grainy, luminous touch — and from the 1730s of quiet domestic scenes of servants, mothers and children at their tasks. Late in life he turned to pastel portraits, including his celebrated self-portraits. His work is held by the Louvre, the National Gallery of Art, Washington and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
