"Three Old Women Beating The Devil" is an etching by the German artist Daniel Hopfer (circa 1470–1536), who is credited with being one of the pioneers in the field of etching as a form of printmaking. Hopfer, originally a craftsman working in armour decoration, adapted the technique of etching from his work on armour to printmaking, thus contributing to the development of the medium in the early 16th century.

The etching depicts a scene where three elderly women are shown in the act of beating a figure that represents the devil. This subject is a rare and early example of a secular theme in printmaking, which was a relatively new art form at the time. The work is characterized by its detailed line work and the dynamic composition that reflects the energy and movement of the scene. The image is infused with a sense of humor and satire, which was not uncommon in Hopfer's work.

The exact date of creation for "Three Old Women Beating The Devil" is not known, but it is generally attributed to the early 16th century, a period when Hopfer was most active in his printmaking career. The etching is considered significant for its artistic merit as well as for its historical importance in the evolution of printmaking techniques.

As an artist, Daniel Hopfer is recognized for his innovative contributions to the medium of etching, and his works are held in high regard for their intricate designs and the early adoption of iron plates for etching, which was a departure from the traditional use of woodcuts and engravings. "Three Old Women Beating The Devil" exemplifies Hopfer's skill and creativity, and it remains an important piece within the history of art for its unique subject matter and its role in the development of etching as an art form.
