Simple, even stark but treasured paintings of common household items ("Still Life with a Smoker's Box") and an uncanny ability to portray children's innocence in a nonsentimental manner ("Boy with a Top") that makes them universal across time. Considered by some to be the greatest of 18th century French painters.
