"A Woman Scaling Fish" (1666) is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Quiringh Gerritsz. van Brekelenkam. This work is an exemplar of the domestic scenes for which van Brekelenkam was renowned, showcasing his skill in capturing the everyday life of ordinary people in the 17th century. The painting depicts a woman engaged in the meticulous task of scaling fish, a common domestic chore of the period. The scene is set in a simple interior, likely a kitchen, where the woman works at a table with focus and diligence.

Van Brekelenkam's attention to detail is evident in the realistic portrayal of textures and materials, from the shimmering scales of the fish to the woman's plain clothing, suggesting her modest status. The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights the woman's hands and the fish, drawing the viewer's attention to the central action. The artist's ability to convey the quiet dignity of labor and the intimate atmosphere of the domestic setting is a testament to his mastery of genre painting.

Born in Zwammerdam near Leiden around 1622, Quiringh van Brekelenkam was an active member of the Leiden Guild of Saint Luke. His works often featured the lives of the lower and middle classes, contributing to the broader Dutch tradition of genre painting that flourished during the Golden Age. "A Woman Scaling Fish" is considered an important work within van Brekelenkam's oeuvre, reflecting both the artistic trends of his time and his personal artistic vision. The painting remains a valuable historical document, offering insights into the social and cultural context of the 17th-century Dutch Republic.
