The Eater of Oysters
Oil on canvas.
H_71.5 cm W_64.5 cm
(Faded, oxidized varnish).
Our painting is based on a composition by Jacob Backer in the Musée Mandet, Riom. Often used as a moral tool, this composition refers to the interpretation of the metaphor of desire, embodied by the figure of the oyster-eater,
a particularly popular motif in Protestant Northern Europe in the 17thᵉ century.
