Through a glass darkly

Hi Mike and Cynthia,

I could see this all right on my monitor last night, and it looks fairly good on my monitor here at my day job. Mike, maybe you should try removing your sunglasses. Seriously, the painting within the painting is pretty dark, both in my version and in the reproduction that I copied it from, but it's still readable on my equipment. It's a copy/adaptation of a portion of a 17th century Dutch old master painting, hence my joke about flunking Art History 101. I was hoping that someone would recognize it without too much prompting. Oh well, here are a couple more clues: Think Delft. Also the figure in question has been rumored to be the only extant self-portrait of the artist in question. Of course if you can't see it none of this will help.

Does anyone who can see it know where it comes from? Do I have to offer prize money?
