A Hermit is an oil painting on oak panel by Dutch Golden Age painter Gerrit Dou, created c. 1661. It depicts a monkish figure, of very old age, surrounded by symbols of vanitas, which serve as a reminder of the brevity of human life. He looks at the viewer, as he leafs through the Bible open in front of him. The painting is in the Wallace Collection, in London.
