About the piece
Painted in 1717 by Willem van Mieris, this masterful work exemplifies the 'Fijnschilder' (fine painter) style of the Leiden school. The scene depicts a woman and a boy amidst a bounty of goods—baskets of raisins, sacks of legumes, and hanging drapery—all viewed through a trompe-l'oeil stone arch decorated with a relief of playing putti.
