About this work

The allegorical figure of Taste. She holds an apple in her hand and a cornucopia. She is accompanied by a monkey. In the background two Biblical scenes: the miraculous feeding (John 6:1-14) and Adam and Eve eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3:1-6). The print has a Latin inscription and is part of a five-part series about the senses.
