"Vanitas: A Young Woman Seated at Her Dressing Table" (1632) is a Baroque-era oil painting by Dutch artist Paulus Moreelse. The painting is a vanitas, a genre that flourished in the Netherlands in the 16th and 17th centuries, characterized by its symbolic representation of the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death. Moreelse's work is a classic example of this genre, combining elements of still life and portraiture to convey a moral message about the ephemeral nature of beauty and worldly possessions.

In the painting, a young woman is depicted seated at her dressing table, surrounded by objects that symbolize the vanity and fleeting nature of human life. These objects often include jewelry, cosmetics, a mirror, and sometimes a skull, the latter being a direct memento mori—a reminder of mortality. The woman's engagement with these items serves as a metaphor for the preoccupation with superficial appearances and material wealth.

Paulus Moreelse (1571–1638) was a Utrecht-based painter, known for his portraits and history paintings. His style was influenced by the Caravaggisti, followers of the Italian Baroque master Caravaggio, who were known for their dramatic use of light and shadow. Moreelse's "Vanitas" is notable for its fine detail, rich color palette, and the interplay of light that highlights the textures and materials depicted within the scene.

The painting is not only an artistic expression but also a didactic tool, intended to remind viewers of the importance of spiritual over temporal values. As a historical artifact, it provides insight into the cultural and philosophical preoccupations of the Dutch Golden Age. "Vanitas: A Young Woman Seated at Her Dressing Table" remains an important work for scholars studying Baroque art and the vanitas tradition, as well as for general audiences appreciating its aesthetic qualities and moral undertones.
