"Woman Tuning a Mandolin" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch artist Gabriel Metsu, a prominent figure in the Dutch Golden Age of painting. This artwork is an exquisite example of Metsu's genre scenes, which often depict everyday life with a sense of intimacy and narrative charm. The painting portrays a woman, possibly a courtesan, in a moment of quiet concentration as she tunes a mandolin, an instrument associated with love and courtship in Dutch genre painting. The scene is set within a domestic interior, a common setting for Metsu's works, which allows for a detailed exploration of textures and surfaces, from the luxurious fabrics of the woman's attire to the polished wood of the musical instrument.

The composition of "Woman Tuning a Mandolin" reflects Metsu's skill in capturing the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the psychological subtleties of his subjects. The woman's absorbed expression suggests a sense of solitude and perhaps a moment of anticipation before a musical performance. Metsu's work is often noted for its fine brushwork and the vivid realism with which he renders materials and textures, and this painting is no exception.

Gabriel Metsu (1629–1667) was a versatile painter, adept at both history paintings and portraits, but he is best known for his genre scenes. His work is characterized by a refined and elegant style, and he was particularly skilled at depicting the textures of fabrics and the nuances of human expression. "Woman Tuning a Mandolin" is a testament to Metsu's ability to create scenes that are both visually appealing and rich in narrative potential.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be a subject of study for art historians interested in the Dutch Golden Age and the genre painting tradition. "Woman Tuning a Mandolin" is an important work within Metsu's oeuvre, offering insights into the cultural and artistic practices of the period, as well as the social roles and representations of women in 17th-century Dutch society.
