"A Girl Playing a Mandolin and a Boy with a Dog" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gabriel Metsu. Known for his genre scenes and portraits that often capture everyday life with a sense of intimacy and detail, Metsu's work is characterized by its fine brushwork and nuanced use of color. This particular painting depicts a domestic scene in which a young girl is focused on playing her mandolin, an instrument popular during the Baroque period, while a boy, possibly her brother, sits beside her with a small dog on his lap, suggesting a moment of leisure and familial comfort.

The composition is typical of Metsu's oeuvre, where figures are situated in well-appointed interiors that reflect the wealth and taste of the Dutch middle class of the time. The attention to textures and materials, from the sheen of the girl's dress to the soft fur of the dog, showcases Metsu's skill in rendering different surfaces and contributes to the overall sense of realism in the painting.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, it is believed to have been produced during Metsu's mature period, when he was living in Amsterdam and had established himself as a prominent artist. The painting is a fine example of Metsu's ability to capture the quiet moments of daily life, imbuing them with a sense of dignity and poise that is emblematic of Dutch genre painting of the period.

"A Girl Playing a Mandolin and a Boy with a Dog" is held in a private collection or museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and as a representation of the cultural and social milieu of 17th-century Netherlands. The work contributes to our understanding of the role of music, domesticity, and childhood in Dutch society, as well as the broader European tradition of genre painting.
