"Woman Washing Hands" (c. 1655) is an oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard ter Borch (1617–1681). Ter Borch, renowned for his genre scenes and portraiture, captured the intimate moments of everyday life with a subtlety and elegance that distinguished his work from that of his contemporaries. This painting is a quintessential example of his mastery in rendering textures, light, and the nuanced social interactions of the 17th-century Dutch middle class.

The painting depicts a woman at her toilette, a common theme in Dutch genre painting, which often illustrated the private lives of women with an emphasis on virtue and domesticity. In "Woman Washing Hands," the subject is shown in a moment of quietude, her hands delicately immersed in a basin of water. The attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the water's surface, the woman's fine garments, and the furnishings of the room, which include a table covered with an oriental rug and a mirror, symbolizing vanity and self-reflection.

Ter Borch's use of light and shadow, as well as his refined color palette, contribute to the serene atmosphere of the scene. The woman's expression is contemplative, inviting viewers to ponder her thoughts and the broader implications of the act of washing hands, which could be interpreted as a ritual of purification or a pause in her daily routine.

"Woman Washing Hands" is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its representation of 17th-century Dutch society. The painting is part of a larger body of work by Ter Borch that documents the customs and fashions of the time, offering invaluable insights into the private and public spheres of the era. As with many of Ter Borch's paintings, this work is celebrated for its ability to convey the quiet moments of life with a sense of dignity and grace, making it a significant contribution to the genre of Dutch Golden Age painting.
