"Burgerlijk Interieur Met Pijprokende Kardinaal En Bloemenschikkend Meisje" (translated as "Bourgeois Interior with a Pipe-Smoking Cardinal and a Flower-Arranging Girl") is a painting by the French artist Henri Adolphe Laissement (1854–1921). Laissement, known for his genre paintings that often depicted clerical figures in domestic settings, created this work in the late 19th or early 20th century, a period marked by a fascination with everyday life and the exploration of social norms through art.

The painting captures a moment of quiet domesticity, juxtaposing the leisurely activity of a high-ranking church official with the innocent task of a young girl arranging flowers. The cardinal, a figure typically associated with ecclesiastical power and solemnity, is portrayed in a moment of relaxation, smoking a pipe, which may suggest a commentary on the private versus public personas of individuals in positions of authority. Meanwhile, the girl, absorbed in her task, represents the simplicity and purity of youth, as well as the traditional roles of women in the household.

Laissement's attention to detail in the depiction of the interior space, the rich textures of the fabrics, and the interplay of light and shadow reflect the influence of Dutch Golden Age painting on his work. The composition and subject matter also resonate with the themes of the 17th-century Dutch genre scenes, which often depicted the daily activities of the middle class.

"Burgerlijk Interieur Met Pijprokende Kardinaal En Bloemenschikkend Meisje" is emblematic of Laissement's oeuvre, which frequently explored the boundaries between the sacred and the profane, the public and the private, and the elevated and the mundane. The painting invites viewers to reflect on the universality of human experience across different social strata and the shared moments of tranquility found in the rhythm of everyday life.
