Mid- 17th century
Old Woman Picking Lice out of the Hair of a Girl
Jan MieleFlemish, c. 1599 - 1663
Originally one of the Bamboccianti, the name given to a group of Northern European genre painters active in Rome, Miele eventually Italianized his art and became a fresco painter. This etching probably came from early in his Roman career, when he was still interested in typically Dutch subject matter.
