Vanitas still life with portrait of a young painter, David Bailly (1651)
Self portrait at actual age in oval frame, held in left hand by himself as a young man with maulstick. His wife at a young age in oval picture frame, and again as a ghost (she had already died in 1651) behind the wine glass in the smoke from the snuffed candle. Upper left on the wall is a print of the lute player by Frans Hals. The drawing of the bearded man is presumably his father or a teacher.
