Unknown Artist - An Old Woman Peeling Pears [after 1640s], originally uploaded by Gandalf's Gallery.
To the right of the woman is a greyhound, and to the left objects that include earthenware and brass pots and cauliflowers. The furniture in the background recurs in David Teniers 'An Old Peasant Caresses a Kitchen Maid in a Stable.' This composition was probably inspired by Teniers's style of the 1640s. It is reminiscent of a work by the artist's brother Juliaen Teniers the Younger.
