About the piece

Painted in 1655 by Frans van Mieris the Elder, this masterful work exemplifies the 'fijnschilder' style of high-detail Dutch painting. The scene depicts a young girl in vibrant red and blue attire offering grapes to an older woman in a doorway, surrounded by meticulously rendered still-life elements including a vegetable-laden wheelbarrow in the foreground.
