The actions and expressions of the men also imply the tasting of forbidden fruits denied them by the young woman. She shoves away the hand of the laughing man who lifts her skirt, while the figure in the red cap tamps tobacco into his pipe with a suggestive finger. Another man sniffs appreciatively at an open wine jug while gazing at the woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dokuwiki_paragraph\"\u003eSteen has sprinkled this comic moral tale with symbols: the handle of the frying pan, a phallic symbol, pointing towards the three men; the mussels, a well-known aphrodisiac; the broken eggs, usually a sign of loss of virtue but in this case possibly representing the men’s ambitions towards the woman. But Steen mocks himself too: he’s portrayed himself here as the laughing man.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/jan-steen-the-interior-of-an-inn-the-broken-eggs\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Interior of an Inn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jan Steen","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49252541202675,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (17\" x 15\")","offer_id":49252541235443,"sku":null,"price":561.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (19\" x 16 3\/4\")","offer_id":49252541268211,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (23 3\/8\" x 20 5\/8\")","offer_id":49252541300979,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (28 5\/8\" x 25 1\/4\")","offer_id":49252541333747,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (36 7\/8\" x 32 1\/2\")","offer_id":49252541366515,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (44 1\/4\" x 39\")","offer_id":49252541399283,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (52 1\/8\" x 46\")","offer_id":49252541432051,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (62 5\/8\" x 55 1\/4\")","offer_id":49252541464819,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/JanSteen-TheInteriorofanInn-TheBrokenEggs-product.jpg?v=1781387028","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-interior-of-an-inn-the-broken-eggs","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
