 Miel's figures were typically farmers, beggars, morra players, innkeepers and porters often mixed with elegantly dressed men and women, who provided a rich flavor of Roman daily life to the architectural setting created by Salucci.There is evidence that in 1641, Jan Miel was documented in the studio of Andrea Sacchi.This collaboration is rather exceptional since Sacchi was an important critic of the Bambocciante style of which Miel was an important representative.
