Old Woman Frying Eggs is a genre painting by Diego Velázquez produced during his Seville period. The date is not precisely known but is thought to be around the turn of 1618 before his definitive move to Madrid in 1623. It is now in the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh. Velázquez frequently used working-class characters in early works like this one in many cases using his family as models; the old woman here also appears in his Christ in the House of Martha and Mary (1618).
