[Nancy Kiel]

So is the lady on the left washing dishes, with water coming from spigots in the wall?

Never tease a weasel!
This is very good advice.
For the weasel will not like it
And teasing isn't nice.

> checking.
> His dates are b. 1583 in Antwerp, d. either 1620 in Venice or 1629 in 
> Amsterdam.

> When one looks for the original by Antonio Tempesta, one comes across it as
>  January: A Kitchen.  Antonio Tempesta  published 1599.
> His dates are b Florence, 1555; d Rome, 5 Aug 1630.
> Between 1589 and 1627 Tempesta made over 1000 prints, which were widely 
> circulated in Europe during his lifetime.
> He turns up all over the place. The kitchen scene is in ARTstor for 
> those with academic access, but even better it's at LA County.
