About this work
The Greek god Zeus sent Pandora to the earth with a box containing all evils. Pandora opened the lid, causing the evils to spread among humanity. In this painting the container is represented by Adam van Vianen's ewer, which was over sixty years old when the picture was painted. Barend Graat has added a second handle and omitted the lid.
