"Woman Baking Pancakes" is a genre painting by Dutch artist Adriaan de Lelie, created around 1790-1810. The artwork depicts a scene of everyday life in a Dutch household, with a woman stirring a pot on a stove while another woman sits at a table. The painting showcases de Lelie's mastery of depicting light and shadow, and the detail in the objects, such as the basket of fruit and the onions, creates a sense of realism and intimacy. The painting, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to de Lelie's ability to capture the essence of Dutch domesticity.
Comments
As in the painting Morning Visit, in this kitchen, too, an old man is preparing to smoke his pipe. A young woman has just entered and a boy stands in the door opening, both perhaps enticed by the smell of pancakes. Because of the young woman’s attire, this interior makes a more contemporary impression than Morning Visit.
