Frans van Mieris (1635 - 1681)

Frans van Mieris the Elder (1635-1681): Dutch Golden Age master of 'fijnschilder' genre scenes & portraits, renowned for exquisite detail and depictions of affluent 17th-century life.

Allegory on transience. A standing young woman in a window points to a skull and a music book lying on a Persian rug on the windowsill. Right a poppy in a jar. The woman keeps flowers in her apron. Behind the woman blows a boy bubbles.
