  Woman Peeling Apples by HOOCH, Pieter de
This is seen in the full character of the figures in the Woman Peeling Apples with its concentration on the motif close to the spectator without side views.
The painting recalls Vermeer's paintings of one or two figures in a lighted corner of a room, and is theme of a woman watched by a child as she works at a simple kitchen task is related to Maes's depictions of household activities.
Yet de Hooch's painting is unmistakably his own; his ability to suggest the intensity and flow of light is undiminished, and the relationship between the woman and child absorbed in their simple activities retains human charm and naturalness.

Its sensitive handling of light—in particular, natural light filtered into an otherwise unlit interior space—led 19th century art historians to attribute it to Jan Vermeer, with whose work the painting does bear strong similarities.
However, Vermeer's work typically portrayed a woman working alone instead of a family scene as in A Woman Peeling Apples.
It is also sometimes referred to in a longer form, A Woman Peeling Apples, with a Small Child.
