I wish this artist has done more work. I look at this painting and my eyes just don’t know where to stop, there are so many things of which to make note. Isn’t this a kitchen we all wish we had tucked away behind our real house. I was caught by his tied shoes and his breeches being tied at the knee, also his lack of neck-wear. Is that a greatcoat that he wore to work this morning hanging on the wall behind him? I like the elevated cook surface that we can see in the background by the large open hearth. And don’t forget the kitchen cat!

A lovely domestic scene, you can almost listen in to the conversation. The numerous details: pewterware, tin canister, redware bowl, bottles, bowls, food, girls clothing, pudding cap, toy drum, long handled pan, round metal brazier. What is that hanging on the wall?
