About the piece

Painted circa 1650 by Jan Miel, this oil on copper work is a masterful example of the Bamboccianti style, which focused on the everyday life of peasants in Italy. The scene captures a lively moment as figures attend to a donkey and goats against a golden sky, showcasing the luminous quality often found in works painted on copper supports.
