Catharina Hooft with her Nurse is a painting from 1619-1620 by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals. The artwork is a portrait of Catharina Hooft, a member of a prominent Amsterdam family, depicted as a child alongside her nurse. Catharina was the daughter of Cornelis Hooft, a wealthy burgomaster (mayor) of Amsterdam, and his wife Anna Blaeu. The painting is notable for its informal pose and the lively expression captured by Hals, which was a departure from the more rigid and formal portraiture of the time.

In the painting, young Catharina is shown in a richly adorned dress, indicative of her family's status, while her nurse, dressed more plainly, stands protectively behind her. The interaction between the child and her caregiver is tender and naturalistic, showcasing Hals' skill in portraying human relationships and emotions. The work is executed with the loose, fluid brushstrokes that are characteristic of Hals' mature style, lending the figures a sense of immediacy and vitality.

Catharina Hooft with her Nurse is considered an important work in Frans Hals' oeuvre, as it exemplifies his innovative approach to portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with both empathy and technical brilliance. The painting is held in a private collection and has been featured in various exhibitions, contributing to the understanding of social and familial structures in 17th-century Dutch society, as well as the evolution of portrait painting in the Dutch Golden Age.
