It is not the profusion of vegetables, fruit, meat, poultry and kitchenware displayed here by these housemaids that forms the main theme of this painting. It is Jesus visiting Mary and Martha, shown almost as an aside in the distance. The contrast between foreground and background contains the moral of the painting: do not be seduced by worldly temptation. The well-stocked kitchen, with Jesus with Martha and Mary in the background. In the kitchen, two maids are busy preparing food. One picks a chicken, the other puts a chicken on a spit. On the left, others are sitting by the fireplace. In the foreground all kinds of game and poultry, vegetables and fruits are displayed. In between also various glasses, pitchers, jugs and plates.
