Description: | A group of peasants standing around a white covered table with a man in a red tunic, seated in front, blowing on a bowl of porridge held cupped in his hands. A dog nestles close to him. To the left is a satyr, gesticulating towards the left, while the peasant women entice him to drink. The subject is from Aesop's Fables, LXXIV: the satyr mocks a man who can blow hot (to warm his hands) and cold (to cool hismporridge) with the same breath. | Subjects: | mythology (Aesop; Fables) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Jordaens, Jacob (Flemish painter and draftsman, 1593-1678) Æ Attributed to school of Previously attributed to Jordaens, Jacob (Flemish painter and draftsman, 1593-1678) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8767... | Go to resource |
