Man eating crayfish (Portrait of Karol Szuster) is a 1919 oil by Roman Kramsztyk, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting shows a man sitting at a table, wearing a white shirt and a dark jacket. He has a white cloth tied around his neck and is holding a crayfish in his right hand. In front of him is a plate of crayfish and a bottle with a label that says "Triple Sec". The background is a dark green wall with a small yellow rectangle in the top-left corner. The man's face is serious, and he seems to be concentrating on eating the crayfish. The overall mood of the painting is calm and introspective. The artist has used a muted color palette to create a sense of quiet contemplation. The painting is a great example of the artist's skill in capturing everyday moments.
