A Woman Peeling Apples (c. 1663) is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Pieter de Hooch in the Wallace Collection in London. It is a genre painting showing a quiet domestic scene from the time like most of de Hooch’s works. The elaborate fireplace and fur and embroidery in the mother’s clothes show a prosperous household and the cupid between the two figures implies a happy one.
