EDITORS COMMENTS
Gabriel Metsu's 'Woman Eating, Known as 'The Cat's Breakfast,'' is a captivating 17th-century Dutch painting that showcases the intricacies of domestic life. The oil on panel artwork, created between 1661 and 1664, depicts a woman in an elegant blue dress, seated at a table indoors. She is in the midst of her breakfast, her gaze fixed on a plate of bread and her hand poised to take a bite. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a curious cat, perched on the table, eyeing a herring lying on a nearby plate. The cat's attention is divided between the fish and the woman, adding an element of playful tension to the otherwise mundane moment. The woman's attire, with its intricate patterns and rich colors, speaks to her social class and the opulence of the household. The painting also features a still-life arrangement of poultry and fish, which were common elements of Dutch breakfasts during this period. The use of naturalistic colors and the attention to detail in the textures of the fabric, the tablecloth, and the food, all contribute to the overall sense of realism and authenticity. 'The Cat's Breakfast' is a testament to Metsu's skill as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life in the Netherlands during the 17th century. The painting is now a cherished part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and evocative imagery.
