About this work
Kitchen interior with emaciated people eating mussels at a table. A man stirs a pot over the fire, and in the foreground a woman gives a child a drink from a drinking horn. Above, a fat man tries to escape the meager kitchen, while two emaciated people try to pull him back in. Below the scene, a two-line verse in French and Dutch.
