Willem van Mieris - A Woman and a Fish Pedlar in a Kitchen [1713], a photo by Gandalf's Gallery on Flickr.
On the sill are two ducks, a basket of snipe, and fish; hanging on the right, a pheasant and two rabbits. The bas-relief is a variant of a 'Triumph of Galatea' relief which appears in several of van Mieris' paintings. This is one of several variations van Mieris painted in the tradition of Gerrit Dou's 'niche paintings' (the depiction of an interior through a window or aperture).
