Woman with Basket of Beans a Kitchen Garden (1661) is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch painter Pieter de Hooch. It is an example of Dutch Golden Age painting and is now in the Kunstmuseum Basel in Switzerland. The painting is notable for its depiction of Dutch almshouse architecture and its inclusion of a portrait on a window shutter, which has sparked debate about its meaning and De Hooch's possible social commentary.
