Flemish Proverbs, 1595

Rockoxhuis

Pieter Brueghel the Younger, 1564 - 1638

oil on canvas

Too many to list them all but here are a few:
* The circles on the roof: To have the roof tiled with tarts - To be very wealthy
* The man in a blue cloak with a lady in red: She puts the blue cloak on her husband - She deceives him
* The woman in white leaning across the table: To be barely able to reach from one loaf to another -
To have difficulty living within budget
* The woman at the window of the square tower: To gaze at the stork - to waste one's time
