Erster Januar. In einem Schminktischspiegel die offene Tür., a oil painting by Brueghel der Ältere of in the style of Brueghel der Ältere. Exemplifying the technique and style of Brueghel der Ältere at his prime. No Vitruvian Man. (Safe for work only.) Brueghel der Ältere. Must be safe for work. Colors should not be faded or dull but appropriately bright and with good contrast. A brilliant example of the art of Brueghel der Ältere.
A detailed oil painting shows a still life composition focused on a large, ornate circular mirror that reflects a winter town scene, framed by an open wooden door. The mirror, with a dark wooden frame decorated with small floral patterns, dominates the center of the image.
Reflected in the mirror is a snowy village landscape under a clear blue sky. A prominent church with a tall spire stands in the background, its roof and the surrounding houses covered in snow. Bare trees are scattered throughout the scene. In the foreground of the reflection, seen through an open wooden door adorned with a small, colorful wreath, are several figures. A man in a dark hat and coat and a woman in a white head covering and dark coat stand prominently, facing slightly towards the viewer. Behind them, other figures are visible, some appearing to be children. The entire reflected scene evokes a cold, wintry day.
Around the mirror, the still life elements are meticulously rendered, suggesting a rich, cluttered domestic interior. To the left of the mirror, a white rectangular paper with Dutch text, "EERSTE JANUAR" (First January), and an illustration of people dancing, is tacked to a dark wooden wall. Below it, a brass candlestick.
