"The Fiddler and the Hurdy-Gurdy Boy" is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Adriaen Jansz. van Ostade. Created in 1673, this artwork is a testament to van Ostade's skill in capturing scenes of everyday life with a particular focus on the peasantry of the 17th century Netherlands. The painting depicts a rustic musical duo, with one figure playing the fiddle and the other playing the hurdy-gurdy, a stringed instrument that produces sound by a hand crank-turned, rosined wheel rubbing against the strings.

Adriaen van Ostade (1610–1685) was renowned for his ability to portray the character and atmosphere of Dutch rural society. His works often included lively scenes of peasants drinking, smoking, and making music, and "The Fiddler and the Hurdy-Gurdy Boy" is a prime example of this genre. The painting is characterized by its detailed rendering of the figures and their expressions, as well as the use of light and shadow to enhance the narrative quality of the scene.

The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the understanding of social history and the development of genre painting in the Dutch Golden Age. It is also an important piece for the study of musical history, as it provides insights into the instruments and musical practices of the period. "The Fiddler and the Hurdy-Gurdy Boy" is not only a work of art but also a historical document that offers a window into the cultural life of 17th-century Holland.
