Mieris Willem van (1662 - 1747)

Inv. Number
Π.185
Willem van Mieris (1662–1747), the son of the artist Frans van Mieris the Elder (1635–1682), followed Netherlandish painting traditions in pursuing everyday-life subjects, interiors, historical and mythological scenes. In “Young Woman with a Parrot”, donated by Aikaterini Rodokanaki in 1904, a delicate touch captures the figures and props (week of 20 August), while meticulously detailing the setting, accentuating interior features – for instance the carpets, reliefs, and still-life paintings – and textures.
