The Pancake Woman exemplifies Rembrandt's observation of daily life. The scene includes closely observed details, such as the child on the right who gazes thoughtfully into the frying pan and the toddler in the foreground holding his pancake out of reach of a hungry dog who chases him.

Another example of the print is held in the collection of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and the Cleaveland Museum of Art, Cleaveland.
