"A Woman and a Boy Making an Offering at a Pagan Altar" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Paulus Bor, also known as Paolo Borghese. Created during the Baroque period, this artwork is notable for its exploration of classical themes and religious practices from antiquity, reflecting the period's fascination with the ancient world. The painting depicts a scene of devotion, where a woman and a young boy are engaged in a ritual act of offering at an altar dedicated to a pagan deity. The composition is rich in allegorical elements and classical references, which were typical of the era's artistic tendencies to blend contemporary religious sentiments with historical and mythological subjects.

Paulus Bor, born in Amersfoort around 1601 and active in Rome and his hometown, was a member of the Bentvueghels, a group of mainly Dutch and Flemish artists working in Rome. He was known for his unique style that combined the Caravaggesque chiaroscuro technique with a more delicate and poetic approach to painting. "A Woman and a Boy Making an Offering at a Pagan Altar" is a testament to Bor's skill in creating atmospheric scenes with a strong narrative quality.

The painting's precise location and ownership history are not well-documented, which is not uncommon for works from this period. However, the artwork is occasionally referenced in art historical literature as an example of Dutch Caravaggism and the broader European interest in classical antiquity during the Baroque era. The painting's current whereabouts or whether it is on public display is not specified in readily available sources.

As an important work by Paulus Bor, "A Woman and a Boy Making an Offering at a Pagan Altar" contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic exchanges between the Netherlands and Italy in the 17th century. It also offers insight into the religious and philosophical preoccupations of the time, as artists grappled with the representation of faith, mythology, and the human condition through their work.
