"A Woman Playing a Clavichord" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch artist Gerrit Dou, a pupil of Rembrandt and a leading figure of the Leiden School. This artwork is a quintessential example of Dou's meticulous technique and his fascination with domestic genre scenes, which often featured figures engaged in everyday activities. The painting depicts an elegantly dressed woman absorbed in playing a clavichord, a keyboard instrument popular during the Baroque period. The scene is set within a dimly lit interior, which is a characteristic element of Dou's works, highlighting his mastery of chiaroscuro and fine detail.

The painting's composition is carefully constructed to draw the viewer's attention to the woman and her instrument, with the use of light emphasizing the textures and materials present in the scene. Dou's attention to detail extends to the richly decorated clavichord, the woman's sumptuous attire, and the various objects surrounding her, which may include musical scores, a carpet, and possibly a window that allows for the interplay of light and shadow. These elements not only showcase Dou's skill as a painter but also provide insights into the cultural and social context of the time, reflecting the intimate and contemplative aspects of private music-making in the Dutch Golden Age.

The exact date of "A Woman Playing a Clavichord" is not definitively known, but it is generally attributed to Dou's mature period, when he had fully developed his style and was enjoying considerable success as an artist. The painting is often praised for its technical brilliance and the emotional resonance of the scene, which invites viewers to ponder the serene moment of musical engagement.

As a work by Gerrit Dou, "A Woman Playing a Clavichord" is part of the oeuvre of one of the most esteemed genre painters of his era. It contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic milieu of the Dutch Republic in the 17th century. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic qualities and as an exemplar of Dou's contribution to the genre of Dutch interior scenes.
