In this ordered chaos, a balance is struck - as always in Juriaen van Streeck's work - between the attraction of pleasures and the incitement to restraint. The choice of food is designed to provoke the gourmand imagination and nurture a desire in the making. The arrangement of the dishes accentuates the effect of the offering and the spirit of epicurean sharing, in which all possible senses are summoned. The composition reveals the painter's ingenuity and virtuosity in the treatment of light, which emphasizes the earthenware pitcher and silver dish, an affirmation of obvious material wealth.
