"Gluttony" is a tapestry woven in the 16th century by Pieter Coecke van Aelst, a Flemish painter and designer. This tapestry, one of a series depicting the Seven Deadly Sins, is a vibrant and intricate work that showcases the sin of gluttony. The central figure, a woman, sits upon a camel, her face contorted in an expression of indulgence, surrounded by a menagerie of animals, fruits, and food. The tapestry is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
