The Oyster Eater
Oil on canvas.
H_71.5 cm W_64.5 cm
(Re-stretched, varnish oxidised).
Our painting is based on a composition by Jacob Backer held at the Mandet Museum in 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 motif that was particularly popular in 17th-century Protestant Northern Europe.
