Domestic Interior with an Old Maid Teaching a Young Boy to Read" is a notable work by the Dutch genre painter Esaias Boursse (1631–1672). Painted in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, the artwork is part of Boursse's oeuvre known for its detailed domestic scenes.

The painting depicts a didactic scene set in a home interior, featuring an elderly woman, presumably an 'old maid' engaged in the task of teaching a young boy to read. Boursse's realist technique becomes evident in rendering the scene's fine details, such as the uneasy posture of the boy, putting forth an impression of his struggle in grasping the new knowledge, and the patient perseverance of the old maid, suggesting her committed effort in imparting education.

Boursse's preference for intimate, ordinary settings is reflected in his choice of subjects. The focus is distinctly on the social role and activities within the domestic sphere, instead of grand historical or religious themes. Evocative of such thematic predilection of Dutch painting during the period, this artwork is exemplary of the wider cultural and socio-economic shifts in the Netherlands. It captures the rising urban middle class and their values like education, family, and domesticity, typical of the genre painting popular in that era.

The painting currently forms part of the collection at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, USA. Collectively through his works like this one, Boursse provides an invaluable glimpse into 17th-century Dutch daily life, embodying the oft-quoted saying, 'God is in the details'.
