Jacob Toorenvliet (1640–1719), The Butcher
A butcher carves game on a table and looks at the viewer, disturbed by the visitor. He is just pausing in his work, the knife in his raised hand. The old man with gray hair wears a red smock, a white apron and a green cap on his head. Pieces of meat hang on the wall in the background on the left. Oil on canvas,32 × 25 cm
