"Brothel Scene" is a notable genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Frans van Mieris the Elder (1635–1681). Created in 1658, this oil on panel work measures 32.5 cm by 25.5 cm and is part of the collection at the Mauritshuis in The Hague, Netherlands. Van Mieris was renowned for his finely detailed and small-scale paintings, often depicting everyday scenes with a moralistic or satirical undertone.

The painting presents a candid glimpse into the licentious atmosphere of a 17th-century brothel. It features a richly dressed young woman, presumably a courtesan, who is engaged in a flirtatious exchange with a man, likely a client, who is partially visible to the viewer. The scene is set in an opulent room, indicative of the high-end establishments of the era. The woman's direct gaze out of the canvas, a common motif in van Mieris's work, invites the viewer into the narrative, serving as a commentary on contemporary morals and the social vices of the time.

"Brothel Scene" is exemplary of van Mieris's meticulous technique and his ability to render textures and surfaces with great realism. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of luxurious fabrics, reflective surfaces, and the play of light and shadow. This work is often compared to the genre scenes of his contemporaries, such as Gerard ter Borch and Johannes Vermeer, who similarly captured the private lives of individuals with an intimate and revealing eye.

The painting's provenance and critical reception over the years have contributed to its status as an important work in the oeuvre of Frans van Mieris the Elder. It is frequently studied for its contribution to the understanding of Dutch genre painting and the cultural context of the 17th century. "Brothel Scene" continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and is appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance.
