# Peasant Repast with a Young Beggar [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CIPPER, Giacomo Francesco]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 111 x 144 cm ## Commentary The composition is centred around a table laid with a large loaf of bread, a generous piece of cheese, some fish, and fruit. The still-life is contained within an oval defined by the hands of the dining companion. The young couple generously invite us to partake in the meal, one offering a carafe of wine, the other an appetizing plum. Cipper painted several replicas of this scene with minimal changes. ## Related artworks - [Palmistry]() - [The Cobbler]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
