The Silver Tureen. Artist: Jean Siméon Chardin (French, Paris 1699-1779 Paris). Dimensions: 30 x 42 1/2 in. (76.2 x 108 cm). Date: ca. 1728-30.In 1728 Chardin was admitted to the French Academy, and achieved immediate and lasting fame as a painter of still life. This picture is unusual in that it combines motifs from the kitchen and from elegant society. The covered silver tureen is an expensive vessel which he must have borrowed. Chardin paints the feathers of the bird and the coat of the hare with great subtlety, contrasting their stiffening stillness with the tense body of the crouching cat. The composition is unbalanced and the fruit is overly large in scale. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

The early 1900s caption reads: "Harold sat by her side and watched her." The image shows Harald Hairfair and Snowfair." Harald Fairhair (c.850 - c.932) was a Norwegian king. According to traditions current in Norway and Iceland in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, he reigned from c. 872 to 930 and was the first King of Norway. His sons, Eric Bloodaxe and Haakon the Good, succeeded him. Harald married Snowfair, daughter of Swasi. When Snowfair died, she did not change, and as red and white she was as when she was alive; and the king sat ever by her (as seen here) and thought in his heart that she still lived.
