"A Portrait of Two Young Boys Holding a Bird's Nest" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Jacob Adriaensz Backer, known for his portraits and history paintings. The artwork depicts two young boys, often presumed to be brothers, in an intimate and candid moment as they present a bird's nest, symbolizing the fragility and innocence of youth. The painting is characterized by Backer's skillful use of light and shadow, which highlights the youthful features and expressions of the subjects, as well as the detailed rendering of their clothing and the nest.

Backer, born in Harlingen, Friesland, in 1608, moved to Amsterdam in his early years, where he became a pupil of Lambert Jacobsz. He later studied with Rembrandt during the formative years of his career. Backer's work is noted for its dynamic compositions, vibrant colors, and the psychological depth he imbued in his portraits. "A Portrait of Two Young Boys Holding a Bird's Nest" is a fine example of his mastery in capturing the essence of his subjects and the subtleties of human interaction.

The painting is significant for its representation of childhood in Dutch Golden Age painting, a period that saw a burgeoning interest in the portrayal of everyday life and personal subjects. The inclusion of the bird's nest in the composition is a poignant detail that may allude to themes of care, education, and the transience of life, which were common in the moralizing artworks of the era.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, it is generally attributed to Backer's mature period. The artwork is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been studied by art historians as part of the broader examination of genre scenes and portraiture in the Dutch Golden Age. "A Portrait of Two Young Boys Holding a Bird's Nest" remains an important work for understanding the social and cultural context of the period, as well as Backer's individual contribution to the development of Dutch portraiture.
