A satyr chastises a peasant for blowing on his food, after he had blown on his hands to keep them warm. The satyr says ''I can no longer consider you as a friend, a fellow who with the same breath blows hot and cold". One of several paintings by Jacob Jordaens (1593-1678) based on one of Æsop's fables. According to the BM the original painting is in the Kunstmuseum in Göteborg, with another version in the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, Brussels.
