An Old Man Weighing Gold is a genre painting created in 1667 by the Dutch Golden Age artist Quiringh Gerritsz. van Brekelenkam. This artwork delves into the theme of avarice through the depiction of an elderly man engrossed in the act of weighing gold coins. The painting is executed in oil on canvas and is known for its meticulous attention to detail and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, characteristic of Dutch interior paintings of the period.

The composition centers on the figure of the old man, whose expression reflects concentration and perhaps moral introspection, as he handles the symbols of wealth. The setting is a modest room, suggesting a personal or private space which adds an intimate atmosphere to the scene. Van Brekelenkam's use of chiaroscuro enhances the reflective surfaces of the gold and other objects in the room, contributing to the overall theme of the transience and moral questioning of material wealth.

An Old Man Weighing Gold not only showcases Van Brekelenkam’s skill in portraying everyday life but also serves as a moral commentary, a common narrative found in the works of many Dutch artists of the time. This painting is significant in its ability to capture the viewer’s attention both through its aesthetic quality and through its deeper, philosophical probing into the human condition and values.
