by Jan Steen
Jan Steen rendered this scene of abundance and indulgence with his characteristic moralizing humor. The "fat kitchen" was a popular Dutch subject contrasting plenty with temperance.
Steen's genre scenes often contain moral messages beneath their comic surfaces. His work depicts Dutch life with theatrical energy. This painting remains in a private collection.
