Musical duo with wine is a 1668 oil by Frans van Mieris the Elder, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting shows a man and a woman sitting together. The man is holding a violin and bow, while the woman is holding a small object in her hands. They are sitting at a table with a white jug and two glasses on it. The man is wearing a dark outfit with a white collar, and the woman is wearing a brown dress with a white headband. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the figures and objects in the foreground stand out. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and contrast between light and dark areas.
Frans van Mieris the Elder (16 April 1635 – 12 March 1681), was a Dutch Golden Age genre and portrait painter.
