"Boy with a Skull" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age master Frans Hals, completed around 1626–1628. The artwork is renowned for its vivid portrayal of a young boy holding a skull, a subject that invokes the traditional memento mori theme, a reminder of the inevitability of death. This painting is one of Hals's early works and exemplifies his skill in capturing the vitality of his subjects, a hallmark that would define his career.

The painting is characterized by Hals's loose brushwork and his ability to render the texture and nuances of the boy's skin and clothing, as well as the skull, with a remarkable sense of realism. The boy's direct gaze and the casual manner in which he holds the skull create a compelling and somewhat unsettling narrative, inviting viewers to ponder the juxtaposition of youth and mortality.

"Boy with a Skull" is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in several prominent museums, allowing the public to appreciate Hals's contribution to the Baroque period and his influence on the development of portraiture. The painting's dimensions, provenance, and critical interpretations have been subjects of scholarly interest, contributing to the understanding of Hals's oeuvre and the cultural context of 17th-century Dutch art.

As an important work by Frans Hals, "Boy with a Skull" continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and the depth of its thematic content, reflecting the artist's mastery in capturing the essence of human experience through portraiture.
