The Sliced Melon is a 1760 oil by Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, a Rococo painting work, depicting Bottle, held at Kimbell Art Museum.
This painting shows a table with a sliced melon, some peaches, and a bottle. The melon is cut in half, with one half sitting on top of the other. The peaches are piled up next to the melon, and the bottle is standing upright behind them. The table is made of wood and has a simple, rustic look. The background of the painting is a plain wall, which helps to focus attention on the objects on the table. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance.
