![A mold-formed cottage-type vase with central cartouche featuring a polychrome domestic genre scene. A woman in a pink dress, standing at left, cranks a serinette [French for "little canary"], a small barrel organ used to teach songs to canaries. The a birdcage, housing the canary, hangs above the table, upon which rests both the serinette, and a blue vase contain pink flowers. Beside the table, a grey cat sits upon a wooden chair with green upholstery. This was also the subject of a 1751 painting by Jean-Siméon Chardin (1699 - 1779) entitled "La serinette," now at the Louvre.](https://media.artsbma.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/11082004/SAN_VOL2BMA_Repositorydb_photod2550u11025504AFI1242015_01_z_o2-400x455.jpg "SAN_VOL2BMA_Repositorydb_photod2550u11025504AFI1242015_01_z_o2 | Birmingham Museum of Art")
