Jacob Ochtervelt, The Oyster Meal, 1664–65. 21 in × 17.5 in (53 cm × 44 cm)
The Oyster Meal is an oil on canvas genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jacob Ochtervelt, dated to around 1664–65. It depicts a man offering a plate of oysters to a woman he is trying to seduce.
The painting was stolen from a bank vault in the Netherlands in 1945, and identified as Nazi plunder while held by the City of London Corporation in 2017. After its return to the descendants of its former owners, it was sold by Sotheby's in 2018 for £1.6m,[1] with the auction catalogue describing it as "one of Ochtervelt's finest surviving works".[2]
