## Artwork

- Artist: [RENARD DE SAINT-ANDRÉ, Simon](<https://beta.wga.hu/artists/renard-de-saint-andr-simon-r57d48a48ffc5cd>)
- Date: 1651-1700
- Technique: Oil on canvas, 38 x 47 cm

## Commentary

This artist was remarkably consistent in his use of motifs. Most, though not all, of his paintings are composed of conventional vanitas emblems: the skull, small viol \(known in English as a kit and in French a pochette\), fluted silver candlestick and musical score inscribed in French.
