About the piece
Attributed to the artist Bernhard Keil, this mid-17th-century oil painting depicts a quiet, lighthearted moment of childhood interaction. A young girl leans in to tease a boy with a piece of straw, their figures emerging from a dark, atmospheric background with a soft, luminous quality characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age genre traditions.
