The rarekiek (called ''t fraay curieus' by the artist). In an interior, a traveling savoy shows a viewing cabinet in front of a family with children. The rare scene depicts scenes, perhaps from a knight's or other popular novel. The room is full of household goods: a spinning wheel, baskets of fruit, toy windmills, a basket, slippers and a bucket with a broom. Against the right wall is a row of barrels on which someone has placed a plate of fish. A painting on the right wall, a rack with jars on the back wall. A birdcage hangs from the ceiling. Object Type: painting. Genre: genre art. Date: 1718. Dimensions: height: 58 cm (22.8 in); width: 49 cm (19.2 in). Medium: oil on panel. Collection: Rijksmuseum. Willem van Mieris - De rarekiek (1718)
