Dutch painter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frans van Mieris the Younger (24 November 1689 – 22 October 1763) was a Dutch painter. He was born in Leiden, the son of Willem van Mieris, and continued in the artistic traditions of his grandfather, also named Frans and known as Frans van Mieris the Elder.[1] Willem passed down his painting studio to his son Frans. However, neither Willem nor Frans the Younger achieved the same level of artistic renown as Frans the Elder.[1] Frans Mieris the Younger died in Leiden.
