Part of a series depicting the five senses, here a man’s exaggerated expression—wide eyes, open mouth, and bared teeth—indicating a dramatic reaction to tasting something, yet his glass is clearly empty. This contradiction creates a satirical tone, mocking the performance of taste when there’s nothing to taste. Typical of 17th-century Dutch genre prints, it lampoons gluttony, drunkenness, or pretentious behaviour through visual irony.
