The Grocer’s Shop

SK-C-185

signature and date: ‘F. V. Mieris. Fec. Aº 1715.’

The painter of this scene, Frans II, was the youngest member of the artistic Van Mieris family. He followed firmly in the footsteps of his grandfather Frans I and his father, Willem. Hence, this painting can serve as a pendant to The Poultry Seller painted by his father (on view elsewhere on this wall). The egg basket at the upper right appears to have descended through the generations.

painter: Frans van Mieris (II)

1715
