About the piece
Painted in 1715 by Frans van Mieris the Younger, this work showcases the intricate detail characteristic of the Leiden fijnschilders. The scene captures a quiet moment of daily life as a young shopkeeper meticulously weighs goods for an elderly customer and a curious child, set within an elegantly rendered stone niche adorned with relief carvings and lush vine leaves.
