''Young Girl Holding a Letter'' is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Caspar Netscher (1639–1684). This intimate genre work depicts a young woman in a moment of quiet contemplation as she holds a letter, a common motif in Dutch painting that often suggests themes of love, secrecy, or distant communication. Netscher, known for his finely detailed and elegantly composed portraits and genre scenes, employs a soft, warm palette and meticulous brushwork to capture the textures of fabric and the subtleties of the subject's expression.

The painting is characteristic of Netscher's mature style, which combines elements of the Leiden fijnschilders (fine painters) with influences from his teacher Gerard ter Borch, particularly in the attention to the psychological nuance of the figure and the depiction of luxurious materials. The young girl is typically dressed in contemporary fashion, and the domestic interior suggests a setting of middle-class comfort and privacy. The letter she holds has been a subject of speculation among art historians, with interpretations ranging from a simple depiction of daily life to a more symbolic representation of love or contemplation.

''Young Girl Holding a Letter'' is part of a broader tradition in Dutch art that includes works by artists such as Johannes Vermeer and Gabriel Metsu, who also explored the theme of letter-reading women. Netscher's contribution to this genre is noted for its intimacy and refinement, reflecting the tastes and interests of the Dutch patrician class for whom such works were created.

The painting's provenance, critical reception, and place within Netscher's oeuvre have been discussed in various art historical texts, and it has been exhibited in several notable museums. As with many works of its time, ''Young Girl Holding a Letter'' offers insights into the cultural and social dynamics of the Dutch Republic during its Golden Age, as well as the enduring appeal of genre painting in European art history.
