A Mayor of Delft and his Daughter (1655) is the common name of an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch painter Jan Steen.

The man sits in the centre, upon the steps in front of his house; he holds a sheet of paper.

The man is dressed in black; the girl has a blue skirt and a greyish-purple gown.

A stone bridge, bearing the arms of the town, leads over the Oude Delft.

[3] The British government delayed issuance of an export license to give British institutions the chance to buy the painting, but after the sole interested party withdrew their offer in August, the export license was issued.
