Still Life with Eggs, Cheese, and a Pitcher is a 1750 oil by Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, a Rococo painting work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting shows a simple still life. On a table, there's a brown pitcher with a handle, three white eggs, and a round piece of cheese with a light-brown rind. The pitcher is on the left, and the cheese is on the right. The eggs are in front of the pitcher. The background is dark, which makes the objects stand out. The pitcher has a few colors mixed into its brown, like red and yellow. The eggs are plain white, and the cheese has a light-brown rind with a white inside. There's a small piece of paper or cloth under the cheese that's light brown. The background is dark and plain. This painting is similar to the work of artist Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin.
Jean Siméon Chardin (French: ; November 2, 1699 – December 6, 1779) was an 18th-century French painter.
