What does the original artwork description of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art write about the work of art painted by Peter Wtewael? (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Typical of Dutch genre paintings from the first half of the seventeenth century, Wtewael’s kitchen scene abounds in visual jokes of a frankly erotic nature, such as the prominent display of meat on a skewer. The grins of housemaid and errand boy indicate their enjoyment of one another’s company, while the lavishly depicted foodstuffs surrounding them allude to the pleasures of the flesh. Such combinations of risqué humor with abundant still life elements had deep roots in Netherlandish painting.
