Description

This book accompanies an exhibition at Waddesdon that will unite Chardin's four paintings of a boy with a house of cards for the first time (loans come from the Musee du Louvre, Paris; National Gallery, London; National Gallery of Art, Washington DC), allowing us to examine Chardin's treatment of the subject in the context of his fascination with themes of play, childhood and adolescence.
