"Old Woman Frying Eggs" is a genre painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created in 1618. This work is one of Velázquez's most celebrated early pieces, painted when he was just 19 years old and still living in his native city of Seville. The painting is a bodegón, a scene of everyday life in Spain that often includes kitchen items and food. It is renowned for its realistic depiction of the common folk and the meticulous attention to the textures and details of the subjects portrayed.

The painting features an elderly woman attentively frying eggs in a clay pot, with a young boy standing beside her, possibly acting as an assistant or an apprentice. The composition is noted for its chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, which highlights the figures and the still-life elements on the table, including the eggs, a ceramic jug, and a mortar and pestle. The work demonstrates Velázquez's skill in rendering different materials and surfaces, from the translucency of the oil in the pan to the rough texture of the bread and the gleam of the earthenware.

"Old Woman Frying Eggs" is a prime example of Velázquez's early work, showcasing his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with a sense of immediacy and realism. The painting is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh. It is often studied for its contribution to the development of naturalism in Spanish art and is considered a precursor to Velázquez's later masterpieces, which would establish him as one of the leading artists of the Spanish Golden Age.
