## Artwork

- Artist: [CHARDIN, Jean-Baptiste-Siméon](<https://beta.wga.hu/artists/chardin-jean-baptiste-simon-r8ca161b5c313c4>)
- Date: 1701-1750
- Technique: Oil on panel, 20 x 18 cm

## Commentary

Unlike such highly productive and fashionable artists of the day as Oudry and Boucher, Chardin did not draw. His Young Sketcher, seen from behind copying a large red chalk drawing, represents a somewhat ironic image of the pupil at work.
