"A Child Peeling Potatoes" is a genre painting by Dutch artist Evert Pieters (1856–1932), known for his intimate depictions of domestic life and rural scenes. Created during the late 19th or early 20th century, this artwork exemplifies Pieters' focus on the simplicity and charm of everyday activities, particularly those involving children and family life.

The painting portrays a young child, seated in a rustic kitchen, engrossed in the task of peeling potatoes. The scene is imbued with a sense of tranquility and concentration, reflecting the artist's ability to capture the quiet moments of daily existence. Pieters' use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to textural details, such as the roughness of the potato skins and the softness of the child's clothing, contribute to the painting's realistic and warm atmosphere.

Evert Pieters' work is often associated with the Laren School, a group of artists who settled in the village of Laren in the Netherlands and were inspired by the rural landscape and the local peasantry. "A Child Peeling Potatoes" is characteristic of the Laren School's emphasis on peasant genre scenes and can be seen as a reflection of the broader artistic movement of Naturalism, which sought to depict everyday life with honesty and without idealization.

The painting is significant for its portrayal of childhood and domestic labor in the late 19th-century Netherlands, offering insights into the social history and cultural context of the period. As a representation of Pieters' artistic oeuvre, "A Child Peeling Potatoes" demonstrates his skillful rendering of texture, light, and the human figure, as well as his empathetic approach to the subjects of his work.

"A Child Peeling Potatoes" is part of Pieters' contribution to Dutch genre painting, a tradition that includes artists such as Johannes Vermeer and Pieter de Hooch. While it may not be as widely recognized as the works of these Old Masters, Pieters' painting continues to be appreciated for its quiet beauty and its evocative portrayal of a bygone way of life.
