"An Old Lady Carding Wool in an Interior" is a 17th-century oil painting by Louis Le Nain, one of the notable Le Nain brothers, who were prominent French painters during that period. The artwork is a genre painting, a form that the Le Nain brothers are particularly renowned for, depicting scenes of peasant life with a sense of dignity and gravity. This painting portrays an elderly woman engaged in the task of carding wool, a process of preparing wool fibers for spinning by disentangling, cleaning, and intermixing them to produce a continuous web or sliver suitable for subsequent processing.

The composition of the painting is intimate and focused, with the figure of the old woman taking center stage. She is depicted with a sense of realism and attention to detail that is characteristic of the Le Nain brothers' work. The interior setting is rendered with a muted color palette, which helps to emphasize the simplicity and the earnestness of the subject's daily labor. The use of light and shadow in the painting adds to the depth and texture, creating a sense of volume and space within the domestic interior.

Louis Le Nain's paintings, along with those of his brothers Antoine and Mathieu, are often celebrated for their empathetic portrayal of the lower classes, a subject that was not commonly depicted with such respect and nuance during the time. "An Old Lady Carding Wool in an Interior" exemplifies the Le Nain brothers' ability to convey the dignity of peasant life, making a significant contribution to the genre of realism in French art.

The painting is part of a larger body of work that has been influential in shaping the understanding of French genre painting in the Baroque period. It is held in high regard for its artistic merit and for the insight it provides into the social conditions and daily activities of rural French life in the 17th century. As with many works by the Le Nain brothers, this painting is studied for its stylistic qualities and its social commentary, making it an important piece for both art historians and those interested in the cultural history of France.
