This painting shows a still-life with a violin, a recorder, books, a portfolio of sheet of music, peaches and grapes on a table top. It is a beautifully balanced composition, its simplicity and subtle lighting bring to mind the works of Chardin who, thirteen years Oudry's junior, had just begun producing still-lifes and was certainly aware of the works of the elder master.
The painting is signed lower right: J.B. Oudry.
