Cork
This is an enigmatic scene of a figure that overlaps with a bottle sealed with a cork. Is the figure keeping a lid (a ‘cork’ in the Dutch saying) on something? Except for the bunches of grapes, nothing seems to relate to the ‘cork’ in the title. What the blocks of wood lying on top of the cork (ready to be used for a campfire) have to do with it, remains a mystery. For that matter, the entire image is puzzling.
