I always appreciate the way you note a detail, like the drawer. It’s interesting that Chardin painted this subject more than once. and interesting, too, that in each one, while there is an open drawer, only in the first one is the drawer without a card or two showing. I don’t have an idea about what, if anything, that might signify, but I enjoyed spotting that difference.
Really liked this on! Thank you for the time you spend on widening our view
That’s kind of you to say. Thanks for reading.
Nice! Thanks, as always. And play on!
Much appreciated, Peter. I hope we will all be playing on together here for a long time.
Thanks for adding your interpretation.

Wow! You have surpassed yourself! A brilliant jewel
Really encouraging message, George. Thank you. And to me, the lad looks as though he is savouring some secret...
Much appreciated, Melanie. Yours is an intriguing interpretation too. Any thoughts on what secret he might be keeping?
It’s a mystery… which I love.
