Page "Jacob Jordaens" Paragraph 21

The particular moment which Jordaens depicts in his painting is when the satyr declares that he cannot trust the man.

The man is eating while the satyr rises abruptly with raised hand prior to leaving the man's home.

Jordaens chooses to place the scene inside a farmhouse, complete with a bull, dog, cat, and rooster integrated around the furniture and figures.

A variety of age groups are represented around the table ; a young boy stands behind the man's chair, an old woman holds a young child, while a youthful woman peers over the Satyr's shoulder.
