"Ik ben zoo klaar met schuren" (English: "I am so done with scouring") is a 19th-century genre painting by Belgian artist Charles Joseph Grips. The work depicts a scullery maid taking a moment of respite from her laborious task of scouring pots and pans, a common domestic chore of the period. Grips, known for his detailed and realistic portrayal of interior scenes, often highlighted the everyday life of the working class, particularly women engaged in household duties.

The painting is characterized by its fine attention to detail, the play of light and shadow, and the expressive countenance of the maid, which conveys a sense of weariness and resignation. The artwork serves as a social commentary on the labor-intensive roles of servants during the 19th century, reflecting the artist's interest in the lives of ordinary people and the dynamics of domestic service.

"Ik ben zoo klaar met schuren" is an example of Grips' skill in capturing the textures of various materials, from the sheen of metal kitchenware to the roughness of the maid's apron. The composition's focal point is the maid herself, whose posture and facial expression suggest a brief moment of contemplation amid her daily routine.

The painting is significant for its contribution to the genre of realism, where artists sought to represent scenes accurately and without idealization. It also provides historical insight into the socio-economic conditions of the time, offering viewers a glimpse into the private sphere of 19th-century households. Charles Joseph Grips' work remains an important piece within the canon of Belgian realist painting, and "Ik ben zoo klaar met schuren" continues to be appreciated for its artistic and cultural value.
