Elizabeth Kathleen Mitchell, Ph.D., Burton and Deedee McMurtry Curator and Director of the Curatorial Fellowship Program, Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University:
Frans Snyders and Jan Boeckhorst formed a partnership that resulted a series of spectacular marketplace scenes for which Snyders painted the still life elements and Boeckhorst added human figures. Beyond depicting a sumptuous array of food, the images conveyed moralizing messages about the material world: the peacock held by the boy represents vanity, and the boar was associated with gluttony.
