"A Guard Holding an Upturned Roemer with a Serving Wench in a Tavern" is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Frans van Mieris the Elder. Created in 1658, this work is a fine example of the artist's detailed and intimate portrayals of everyday life in 17th-century Netherlands. The painting depicts a scene within a tavern, a common setting for genre paintings of the period, where a guard is seen interacting with a serving wench. The guard's upturned roemer—a type of wine glass popular in the Netherlands during the era—suggests a moment of leisure and conviviality.

Frans van Mieris the Elder (1635–1681) was a Leiden-based painter known for his small-scale, highly detailed works, often imbued with a sense of narrative and character study. His paintings frequently feature the textured surfaces and intricate lighting effects that are characteristic of the fijnschilder (fine painter) technique, which he and other Leiden artists such as Gerrit Dou and Gabriel Metsu helped to develop and popularize.

This particular painting is notable for its meticulous attention to detail, from the reflections on the glassware to the textures of the fabrics and the play of light across the figures and objects. Van Mieris's skill in rendering materials and his ability to capture the nuances of human interaction are on full display. The artwork serves as a valuable document of social customs and material culture of the time, offering insights into the attire, interior design, and social dynamics within a tavern setting.

"A Guard Holding an Upturned Roemer with a Serving Wench in a Tavern" is held in high regard for its technical excellence and for providing a window into the daily life of the Dutch Republic.
