Interior with a Woman Weighing Gold Coin (1659–1662) is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch painter Pieter de Hooch. It is part of the collection of the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.[1]
The painting was documented by Hofstede de Groot in 1910, who wrote:
96. Interior with a Woman weighing Gold Coin. A woman stands in profile in a room, weighing gold coin. Her rich dress, trimmed with fur, suggests that she is the wife of a wealthy money-lender. It is a picture of rare beauty. Canvas, 24 inches by 21 1/2 inches. Sales, (Probably) Beckford, London, 1823 (£30:9s., Evans). Brun of Geneva, Paris, November 30, 1841, No. 20 (865 francs).[2]
The composition is strongly related to Vermeer's Woman Holding a Balance.
