"Old Woman Peeling Apples" is a 1655 genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Nicolaes Maes, a pupil of Rembrandt. The painting is a quintessential example of Maes's domestic scenes, which often feature intimate portrayals of everyday life. In this work, Maes captures a moment of quiet domesticity, depicting an elderly woman absorbed in the simple task of peeling apples. The painting is notable for its meticulous attention to detail, the play of light and shadow, and the contemplative mood it evokes.

The composition is characterized by a warm, subdued palette and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique Maes would have learned from Rembrandt, to create a sense of depth and volume. The old woman's face is rendered with particular care, her wrinkles and expression suggesting a lifetime of experience and a moment of peaceful concentration. The textures of the woman's clothing and the apples are also finely detailed, showcasing Maes's skill in rendering different materials.

"Old Woman Peeling Apples" is often praised for its narrative quality and the way it invites viewers to reflect on the simplicity and dignity of ordinary life. The painting is a testament to the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with realism and the depiction of bourgeois life. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Nicolaes Maes and contributes to our understanding of 17th-century Dutch genre painting. The painting is held in various collections, and its provenance and exhibition history contribute to its significance in the study of art history.
