About this work

This painting shows a still life of food, with a variety of meats and fish hanging from hooks. There's a pig on a plate in the foreground, and some other foods like bread and vegetables. The painting has a dark background, which makes the food stand out. It's like a snapshot of a market or a kitchen from a long time ago.
