A Cook and a Kitchen Maid with the Provisions of the Kitchen is a 1732 by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a man in a white cap and apron holding a roasted bird, standing next to a woman in fancy clothes. Between them is a table piled with food—whole fish, roasted meats, bread, and a big bowl of fruit. The background is dark, making the food and the two people stand out. The woman’s dress looks rich, while the man’s apron is plain. The food is arranged almost like it’s a feast, with some items spilling over the table. This style of painting is called Baroque.
