"Eavesdropping on a Woman Scolding" is a 1655 genre painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Nicolaes Maes, a pupil of Rembrandt. This work is an exemplar of Maes' domestic scenes, which often feature eavesdropping or idle gossip as central themes. The painting depicts an interior scene where a woman is presumably scolding an unseen figure, while another woman, possibly a maid or a confidante, listens intently at the door. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique Maes would have learned from Rembrandt, is evident in the dramatic lighting that highlights the expressions and gestures of the figures, adding to the narrative tension of the scene.

The artwork reflects the moralizing tone common in Dutch genre painting of the period, where household activities could be imbued with lessons about virtue and propriety. Maes' attention to detail in the textures of fabrics and surfaces, as well as his ability to capture the psychological intensity of everyday moments, are hallmarks of his mature style. "Eavesdropping on a Woman Scolding" not only showcases Maes' skill in composition and character portrayal but also provides insight into the social norms and expectations of 17th-century Dutch society. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and its provenance, as well as critical reception, contribute to its significance in the oeuvre of Nicolaes Maes and the broader context of Dutch painting.
