"Old Woman (The Queen of Tunis)" is a Northern Renaissance painting, often attributed to the workshop of Quentin Massys, a prominent Flemish painter. Created in 1513, this work is an example of the Northern Renaissance's fascination with character studies and portraiture that convey moral messages or social commentary. The painting is also known by other titles, including "An Old Woman" and "The Ugly Duchess," and it is believed to have inspired John Tenniel's illustration of the Duchess in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."

The painting depicts an elderly woman with exaggerated, grotesque features, which was a common motif in the art of the period, often used to explore themes of vanity and the transience of beauty. The subject is richly attired, suggesting a person of high social status, which contrasts sharply with her physical appearance. This juxtaposition may imply a critique of the folly of pride and the inevitability of aging, regardless of one's position in society.

The attribution to Quentin Massys' workshop, rather than to Massys himself, indicates that while the painting may have been produced under his direction, it was likely executed by one of his apprentices or assistants. This was a common practice in the workshops of the time, where the master would oversee the production of artworks, contributing to varying degrees to the final piece.

"Old Woman (The Queen of Tunis)" is held in the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it continues to intrigue and engage audiences with its striking portrayal of its subject and the rich interpretive possibilities it offers. The painting stands as a significant example of the Northern Renaissance's contribution to the development of portraiture and the exploration of human character through art.
