"The Cittern Player" (1660) is a notable genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gabriel Metsu, who is renowned for his detailed and intimate depictions of everyday life. The artwork captures a moment of musical leisure, featuring a figure playing the cittern, a popular stringed instrument of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The painting is emblematic of Metsu's skill in rendering textures, light, and the nuanced interactions of his subjects.

In this composition, the cittern player is typically depicted in a domestic setting, which reflects the 17th-century Dutch societal interest in music as a pastime and indicator of cultural refinement. The artwork is characterized by its fine attention to detail, from the intricate design of the cittern to the subtle expressions of the figures, which often convey a sense of narrative or moral allegory common in Metsu's work.

Gabriel Metsu (1629–1667) was an influential figure in Dutch painting, and his works are considered important contributions to the genre of scenes from everyday life, alongside those of his contemporaries such as Jan Vermeer and Pieter de Hooch.
