"An Old Man Holding a Lantern, with a Woman and Child in an Interior" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Jacob Toorenvliet. Created in 1663, this work exemplifies Toorenvliet's skill in capturing domestic scenes with a remarkable attention to detail and a keen interest in the effects of light and shadow. The painting depicts a genre scene, a common theme in Dutch art of the period, where everyday life is portrayed with an almost intimate familiarity.

The composition centers on an elderly man who holds a lantern, casting a warm glow that illuminates the faces of the figures and the interior space. Beside him, a woman and a child contribute to the narrative, suggesting a familial or communal moment that viewers can relate to. The interplay of light not only highlights the expressions and interactions of the characters but also serves to draw attention to the textures and objects within the room, showcasing Toorenvliet's talent for rendering materials such as fabric, metal, and wood.

Jacob Toorenvliet (1635–1719) was known for his genre paintings and portraits. Trained by his father, the Leiden painter Abraham Toorenvliet, Jacob became a member of the Leiden Guild of St. Luke, which was a testament to his artistic prowess and reputation. His works often reflect the influence of other Leiden fine painters, such as Gerrit Dou and Frans van Mieris, who were celebrated for their meticulous brushwork and evocative use of light.

"An Old Man Holding a Lantern, with a Woman and Child in an Interior" is significant for its representation of 17th-century Dutch social and cultural life, as well as for its technical mastery. The painting is a valuable piece for understanding the Northern Baroque period and the genre painting tradition in the Netherlands. It continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Toorenvliet's contribution to the art of his time.
