Miel combined northern genre painting with classical Italian settings. He had a talent for placing small, active figures within large outdoor scenes. His works, such as 'Te paard zittende jonge ruiter', often feature animals and children in natural poses. Later in his career, he moved to Turin to serve the Duke of Savoy. This transition saw him move away from street scenes toward formal courtly commissions and religious subjects. His religious panels show a clear Baroque influence.

Modern collectors value the honesty in Miel's depictions of daily life. His paintings offer a view of the seventeenth century that feels unscripted. The small scale of his genre works makes them suitable for residential spaces. They offer a balance between historical interest and storytelling. His ability to capture figures within a landscape gives his prints a sense of life. These pieces work well in rooms where fine detail is preferred.
