did not paint commissioned portraits or Nudes. Of the portraits attributed to Bruegel, only one is undoubtedly His. This is the painting "the head of a peasant woman" in 1564.

Pieter Bruegel's works are a favorite subject for mosaics from different manufacturers in the category Pieter Bruegel's puzzles.
