About this work

The painting depicts a dimly lit room with a woman sitting by a fireplace. The room is cluttered with various objects, including a clock on the wall and a table with a kettle on it. The woman is dressed in a long skirt and apron, and is holding a cloth in her hand. The room appears to be a domestic space, with the woman likely being a servant or maid. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast, highlighting the woman's figure in the center of the room. The painting is held at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, and is a great example of the use of chiaroscuro in art.
