"A Lady Washing at a Casement" 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 genre painting, which measures 52.5 cm by 44 cm, is a quintessential example of Dou's meticulous technique and his focus on domestic scenes imbued with a sense of tranquility and introspection.

The artwork depicts an intimate moment of a young woman leaning out of a window, engaged in the simple act of washing her hands. The casement frames the subject, creating a sense of depth and drawing the viewer's attention to the woman's serene expression. Dou's mastery in rendering textures and light is evident in the detailed depiction of the woman's attire, the casement's wood grain, and the reflective properties of the water and glass.

As a genre scene, the painting reflects the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with everyday life and the moralizing themes often associated with such depictions. Dou's work is characterized by his fine brushwork and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique he adopted from his mentor, Rembrandt. "A Lady Washing at a Casement" is celebrated for its intimate scale and the artist's ability to convey a narrative through the subtlety of gesture and expression.

The painting is a significant contribution to the oeuvre of Gerrit Dou and offers insight into the domestic lives and societal norms of the Dutch middle class during the 17th century. It remains an important work for the study of Northern Baroque art and the evolution of genre painting in the Netherlands. The current location of the painting and its provenance provide further context for its historical and cultural significance within the period's artistic landscape.
