Kitchen Scene
Cornelis Dusart Dutch
Not on view
In a kitchen, two peasants enjoy a meal of herring, bread, and butter set atop an improvised table. Dusart, a pupil of Adriaen van Ostade, followed closely in his master's footsteps and indeed took over the contents of Ostade's studio after the artist's death in 1685. Like his teacher, Dusart produced beautiful watercolors of peasant scenes. While his subject matter derives from that of Ostade, Dusart's technique and figure style are more elegant and refined. The drawing has been identified in the past as an illustration of Taste from a series of the Senses but was more likely meant as an independent piece.
