"An Old Woman, Sitting on a Chair and Peeling Fruit" 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, executed with Dou's characteristic fine brushwork and attention to detail, depicts an elderly woman engaged in the simple, domestic task of peeling fruit. The work is emblematic of Dou's meticulous style and his focus on the textures and effects of light, which he used to elevate everyday scenes into subjects worthy of contemplation.

The painting is notable for its intimate scale and the quiet dignity it imparts to its subject, a common feature of Dou's oeuvre. The woman's concentrated expression and the intricate rendering of her surroundings, including the play of light on her wrinkled skin and the fruit's peel, showcase Dou's mastery of illusionistic effects. These qualities reflect the influence of his teacher, Rembrandt, while also highlighting Dou's own contributions to the development of genre painting in the Dutch Golden Age.

As a work of art from a period rich in artistic innovation, "An Old Woman, Sitting on a Chair and Peeling Fruit" offers insights into the cultural and social values of the time, particularly the appreciation for the beauty in ordinary life and the technical virtuosity prized by collectors of the era. The painting remains an important example of Gerrit Dou's legacy and the enduring appeal of the genre scenes that defined much of his career.
