''The Goldfinch'' (Dutch: ''Het puttertje'') is a renowned 1654 oil painting by Dutch artist Carel Fabritius. It depicts a life-sized European goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) tethered to a feeder box by a delicate chain, a common practice at the time for pet birds. The work is celebrated for its realistic depiction and the use of light and texture, which showcase Fabritius's mastery of the medium and his innovative approach to painting.

Measuring 33.5 cm by 22.8 cm, the small painting is executed on a panel, a characteristic medium for Dutch Golden Age paintings. Fabritius's use of cool and warm tones, as well as the subtle play of shadows, creates an illusion of depth and three-dimensionality, making the bird appear almost tangible. The composition is simple yet powerful, with the goldfinch standing out against a plain, plastered wall, and the illusionistic nature of the work has been noted for its trompe-l'œil effect.

Carel Fabritius (1622–1654) was a pupil of Rembrandt and is considered one of the most talented artists of his generation, although his career was tragically cut short by an explosion in Delft in 1654, the same year ''The Goldfinch'' was created. This painting is one of the few works by Fabritius that survived the disaster, and it has since become one of his most famous pieces.

Today, ''The Goldfinch'' is held in the collection of the Mauritshuis in The Hague, Netherlands, where it continues to attract attention and admiration from art enthusiasts and scholars. The painting has also inspired contemporary culture, most notably Donna Tartt's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel ''The Goldfinch'', which features the painting as a central element of the story. The novel was later adapted into a feature film of the same name, further cementing the painting's place in modern cultural consciousness.
