About the piece
Painted around 1650, this masterwork by Gabriel Metsu captures a quiet moment of 17th-century domesticity. A man and a woman share a simple meal, illuminated by a soft light that highlights the rich textures of the white tablecloth, the vibrant red of the woman's dress, and the luster of the ceramic jug.
