In the center, a corpulent man is seated, stuffing food into his mouth with one hand and holding a jug of drink with the other. A smaller, emaciated figure, possibly a child or a representation of extreme hunger, clings to his leg, trying to get food. To the right, another man is greedily drinking from a large jug, with liquid spilling down his chin.
On the left, a woman in a wimple and apron carries a platter with a roasted bird, seemingly presenting it to the gluttonous figures. The room is cluttered with symbolic objects: a broken wine jug on the floor, a hat pierced by an arrow (perhaps suggesting wasteful or destructive consumption), a knife plunged point-first into a wall, and a pot simmering over a fire, which might represent the ongoing preparation of food for excessive consumption. A chamber pot sits comically in a small chair in the foreground, hinting at the consequences of overindulgence.
The overall impression is one of excess, greed, and a lack of self-control, all common themes in the Christian concept of the Seven Deadly Sins. The painting serves as a moral warning against the dangers of unchecked appetites for food and drink.
