About the piece
Painted in 1709 by Willem van Mieris, this oil on panel captures the intense drama of the Judgement of Solomon. The composition uses dramatic light to focus on the central figures—the King, the executioner, and the grieving mothers—set within a grand, theatrical interior typical of the Dutch 'fijnschilder' tradition.
