I like this painting a lot and it has a few interesting features, the multiple rings on her hand is a bit out of the ordinary and other jewellery pieces seem a bit out of place with the not upper class surroundings.

Detail: table, chair, table knife, plate, bowl, bread, butter, glass bottle, cork , glass tumbler, jewellery, ring, earring, necklace,  child, hearth, trammel hook
