Begijnhof te Mechelen is a 1861 oil by Ferdinand Willaert, a Realism work, held at Groeningemuseum.
This painting depicts a woman in a long, dark dress standing in an arched doorway. The doorway is set in a white stone wall, with a red-tiled roof above it. The woman is looking to her right, and the doorway is open, revealing a dark passageway behind her. The painting is done in muted colors, with the woman's dress and the stone wall being the main focus. The background is dark and indistinct, with only a hint of a window or door visible behind the woman. The painting is held at the Groeningemuseum.
