"A Young Boy in a Feathered Red Cap Playing the Mandolin" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans van Mieris the Elder (1635–1681). This oil on panel painting, created in the 17th century, is an exquisite example of the artist's meticulous technique and his ability to capture the texture and quality of various materials, including the softness of the feathered cap and the sheen of the mandolin. Van Mieris was renowned for his small-scale, highly detailed genre scenes and portraits, which often included richly attired figures in intimate settings.

The painting depicts a young boy, dressed in a sumptuous costume, playing a mandolin, which reflects the period's fascination with music and the arts as symbols of cultural refinement. The boy's attire, particularly the red cap adorned with feathers, suggests a sense of luxury and perhaps a connection to the theatrical or the exotic. The precise date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, but it is typically placed within the period of van Mieris's most active years as an artist.

Frans van Mieris was a leading figure in the Leiden School and a contemporary of artists such as Gerrit Dou and Johannes Vermeer. His works are characterized by their small size and the influence of his teacher Dou, which is evident in the attention to detail and the smooth finish of his paintings.

"A Young Boy in a Feathered Red Cap Playing the Mandolin" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the understanding of cultural and social practices in the Dutch Republic during the 17th century. The painting is held in a private collection or museum, and it continues to be studied by art historians and enthusiasts for its exemplary craftsmanship and its place within the oeuvre of Frans van Mieris and the broader context of Dutch Golden Age painting.
