"A Washerwoman at a Casement" is a notable genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerrit Dou, who was a pupil of Rembrandt and is renowned for his fine brushwork and attention to detail. This painting, executed in oil on panel, is a quintessential example of Dou's meticulous technique and his fascination with domestic scenes that often featured figures engaged in everyday tasks.

The artwork depicts a woman, the washerwoman, leaning out of a window, a common architectural element in 17th-century Dutch homes. She is likely pausing from her labor to interact with someone outside the viewer's perspective, or perhaps simply taking a moment of respite. Dou's treatment of light and shadow, as well as his rendering of textures and materials, from the woman's clothing to the window's glass and woodwork, showcases his mastery of illusionistic effects.

The painting's exact date of creation is not definitively known, but it is generally attributed to Dou's mature period, which suggests it may have been completed around the mid-17th century. "A Washerwoman at a Casement" is celebrated for its intimate portrayal of daily life and the artist's skill in elevating a humble subject to a work of fine art through his extraordinary technique.

As a significant work by Gerrit Dou, the painting contributes to the understanding of genre painting in the Dutch Golden Age and offers insight into the social history of the period. It is held in high regard by art historians and is considered an important piece within Dou's oeuvre, reflecting the themes and stylistic qualities for which he is best known. The painting is also a valuable artifact for the study of women's work and domestic life in 17th-century Netherlands, providing a window into the past through its vivid and detailed representation.
