The Bloodletting is a 1655 unspecified by Quirijn van Brekelenkam, held at Mauritshuis.
This painting shows two women sitting in a small room. The woman on the left is wearing a white and red dress, while the woman on the right is wearing a black and white dress. They are both looking down at something on the woman's lap. There is a small table to the right with a basket on it. The background is a plain wall with a birdcage hanging from it. The women seem to be focused on something, but it's not clear what it is. The room is simple and unadorned, with only a few pieces of furniture. The painting is held at the Mauritshuis.
Quirijn or Quiringh Gerritsz van Brekelenkam (1622/29, Zwammerdam – 1669/79, Leiden) was a Dutch Baroque genre painter.
