"Vanha Nainen" (English: "Old Woman") is a notable painting by Finnish artist Maria Wiik (1853–1928). Wiik, who was a prominent figure in the Finnish art scene at the turn of the 20th century, is known for her portraits and genre paintings that often reflect the influence of French realism and naturalism, movements she became acquainted with during her studies in Paris.

The painting "Vanha Nainen" is an evocative portrayal of an elderly woman, rendered with a sensitivity and attention to detail that is characteristic of Wiik's mature work. The subject is depicted with a sense of dignity and introspection, inviting viewers to contemplate the life and experiences of the sitter. Wiik's use of light and shadow, as well as her nuanced color palette, contribute to the depth and emotional resonance of the piece.

While the exact date of creation for "Vanha Nainen" is not well-documented, it is believed to have been painted during the latter part of Wiik's career, which was marked by a heightened interest in the human condition and the inner lives of her subjects. The painting is considered an important work within Wiik's oeuvre, exemplifying her skill in portraiture and her empathetic approach to depicting individuals from various walks of life.

"Vanha Nainen" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a reflection of the social and cultural milieu of Finland during a period of significant change and national awakening. The painting is also an example of the contributions of women artists to the Nordic art scene, an area that has garnered increased scholarly interest in recent years.

As with many historical artworks, the provenance and exhibition history of "Vanha Nainen" contribute to its significance. The painting is part of Finland's national art collection and can be viewed at the Ateneum, the Finnish National Gallery in Helsinki, which houses the country's most extensive collection of art and is a key institution in preserving and promoting Finnish art history.
