Portrait bust of the painter Frans van Mieris (1635-1681). Van Mieris painted self-portraits, scenes from the life of the upper classes, but also sketched a picture of daily events in the life of the people. His work was paid exceptionally well from the start and continued to be one of the most coveted art ever made in the Netherlands for a long time after his death. Copper engraving by Etienne Ficquet (1719-1794). Signed in print. Most likely used as an illustration in: "La vie des peintres Flamands, Allemands et Hollandais (...)", 4 volumes, Paris, 1753-1763.
