"The Drawing Lesson" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Jacob Ochtervelt, a prominent figure of the Dutch Golden Age renowned for his genre scenes depicting elegant interiors and musical gatherings. Created circa 1665, this artwork exemplifies Ochtervelt's skill in capturing the nuances of light and texture, as well as his keen observation of social interactions and domestic life.

The painting portrays a young girl receiving a drawing lesson from a male instructor, a scene that reflects the cultural emphasis on artistic education among the Dutch middle and upper classes of the time. The setting is an opulent interior, likely the home of a wealthy family, which serves as a backdrop for the intimate exchange between teacher and pupil. The use of light is particularly notable, as Ochtervelt employs it to highlight the figures and their activity, creating a sense of depth and focus within the composition.

"The Drawing Lesson" is often discussed in the context of its representation of gender roles and the education of women in the 17th century, as well as its depiction of the social status of artists and the value placed on art in Dutch society.
