Default Old Master oil painting identification.

Could someone help me identify an "Old Master" oil painting that I don't know the title or the Painter.
It is a 17/18th century(ish) country kitchen scene. There are children in the kitchen and a couple of dogs, the mother is on the left of the kitchen by the fire and the grandmother is in the background. The stable type kitchen door is partially opened and I think there is a farmer and possibly a horse in view.It is a dark atmospheric painting with lots of detail.
I'm sure it is a very well known painting that someone will instantly recognise.
Any help will be gratefully received.

Default old master painting

I dont think that anyone will be able to identify a painting without seeing it. Is there a date, signature, gallery sticker or anything that may help identify where it came from or who the artist is??

The problem is there are too many paintings of this type. Nonetheless I'll take a stab at it... Below is an allegorical scene by Joachim Beuckelaer, at the National Gallery in London.

Thank you for spending time thinking about my request for help. The picture suggested is not the one. My picture is darker and of a different format.Although I can't give any more details than I already have, as I am going back 30 years using my fading memory of school art classes in the 70's.

I am going to plough through individual artists masterpieces on the Net, hoping for a lucky hit.

Default art expert to the resuce!

E-mail or call the toll free number at xxxxxxxx.com. Ask for xxxxxxxx. Tell him Maureen sent you.
Stop wasting your valuable time trying to find out what your painting is. They have a lot of experts that can help you for a very, very reasonable fee.
I know, because they helped me, and the painting I found in a thrift store turned out to be very valuable. I wasted 2 years trying to find information out myself, and as soon as I called them - *she-bang* They identified it!

Try to keep replies on point rather than using them to promote one particular website. In this case the person doesn't own the painting, they're simply trying to identifying a painting they have once seen.
