"Goldfinch" (Dutch: "Het puttertje") is a renowned 1654 oil painting by Carel Fabritius, a Dutch painter who was a pupil of Rembrandt and a member of the Delft School. This small yet captivating work is celebrated for its delicate portrayal of a chained goldfinch perched on its feeder, set against a plain, light background. Measuring 33.5 cm by 22.8 cm, the painting is executed on panel and is noted for its meticulous attention to detail, vibrant color palette, and the lifelike texture of the bird's feathers.

Fabritius's work is distinguished by its innovative use of lighting and perspective, which adds depth and realism to the composition. The painting's simplicity and the directness of its subject matter contrast sharply with the more complex, allegorical works typical of the period, making "Goldfinch" a unique piece in 17th-century Dutch painting. The artwork is often interpreted as a study of nature and an exploration of the theme of freedom constrained, symbolized by the goldfinch's tether.

"Goldfinch" is one of the few surviving works by Carel Fabritius, who tragically died in the Delft gunpowder explosion in 1654, the same year this painting was completed. The artwork's survival and exceptional quality have contributed to Fabritius's posthumous reputation as one of the most talented pupils of Rembrandt and an influential figure in the development of realistic painting in the Netherlands.

Today, "Goldfinch" is housed in the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, Netherlands, where it continues to attract attention and admiration from art enthusiasts and scholars worldwide. Its enduring appeal was further highlighted by its central role in Donna Tartt's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "The Goldfinch," which brought the painting into popular culture and renewed interest in Fabritius's work.
