About the piece
Painted in 1698, this work by Willem van Mieris illustrates the story of Cimon and Iphigenia with the meticulous precision of the Leiden fijnschilders. The composition masterfully contrasts the soft, glowing figures of the sleepers against a rugged backdrop of distant mountains and crumbling ruins, bathed in the golden light of late afternoon.
