Frans van Mieris (1635 – 1681)
Frans van Mieris the Elder (1635-1681): Dutch Golden Age master of 'fijnschilder' genre scenes & portraits, renowned for exquisite detail and depictions of affluent 17th-century life.
Formerly attributed to Gerard Dou, this late work by Van Mieris may have been inspired by Jan Steen"s nocturnal scene of carnival revelers in the National Gallery, Prague.
