I enjoyed seeing Bruegel’s work through your eyes. I have not studied his paintings so you opened my eyes to many details I would otherwise have missed.
In reference to the woman with the bowl, it seems that the others around her are consuming something from their bowls. Might she be the one dispensing their portions from her larger vessel?
Another wonderful and engaging post, Cathy— thank you!
Thank you Janet, I appreciate your comment very much and hope you might continue to enjoy looking at Bruegel's work in the future. I may very well write about it again as he is one of my favourite painters. Thank you always!

It’s a very strange angle to be carving something, she doesn’t seem to need to be putting much effort in. Could it be half a round of cheese?
