"The Parable of the Lost Piece of Silver" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Godfried Schalcken. Known for his mastery of chiaroscuro and candlelit scenes, Schalcken's work often reflects the influence of his teacher, Gerrit Dou, and the Leiden school of fijnschilders, who were renowned for their fine brushwork and attention to detail.

This particular painting depicts the biblical parable of the lost coin, found in the Gospel of Luke, in which a woman searches her home for a lost piece of silver and rejoices upon finding it. Schalcken's interpretation of the parable is notable for its intimate domestic setting, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the emotional resonance of the subject's expression. The work showcases Schalcken's skill in rendering textures and surfaces, from the gleam of the coin to the soft glow of candlelight on the woman's face.

Created in the late 17th century, "The Parable of the Lost Piece of Silver" reflects the period's interest in moralistic and religious themes, presented within the context of everyday life. The painting is an example of Schalcken's contribution to Dutch genre painting, where he imbued common scenes with a sense of spirituality and inner life.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, it is generally attributed to the mature phase of Schalcken's career, when he had established himself as a successful artist in the Dutch Republic and beyond. The painting is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of a timeless parable, resonating with themes of loss, perseverance, and joy in redemption.
