Laughing Girl Showing a Small Picture of a Nude Woman Seen from Behind

The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth, drawing attention to the girl's face and the small picture. The contrast between the dark background and the girl's bright, ornate clothing adds to the painting's dimensionality.

The painting is part of the Statens Museum for Kunst collection. Van Bijlert, influenced by Caravaggio during his time in Italy, was also a founder of the Bentvueghels group of northern artists in Rome.
