Sir John Chardin is a 1711 oil by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
The painting depicts a man with curly, shoulder-length hair and a brown robe with a white shirt underneath. He is seated and points to a map held by a young boy standing beside him. The background is a red curtain, and the boy wears a dark jacket. The man's attire suggests a formal or official setting, possibly indicating his status or profession. The map in the boy's hands may represent a specific location or journey, adding context to the scene. This painting is reminiscent of works by artists who use chiaroscuro to create depth and contrast.
