"The Little Street" (Dutch: "Het Straatje") is a renowned painting by the Dutch master Johannes Vermeer, created around 1657–1658. This work is one of only a few known cityscape or streetscape subjects by Vermeer and is held in high esteem for its quiet, intimate portrayal of everyday life in the Dutch Golden Age. The painting is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and is considered one of the highlights of their collection.

The artwork depicts a seemingly unremarkable scene of a street in Delft, Vermeer's hometown. It features a view of the exterior of a few buildings, with particular focus on the brickwork, the various materials of the structures, and the play of light and shadow. The composition includes a woman sewing, children playing, and a sense of domestic tranquility. Vermeer's meticulous attention to detail and his masterful handling of light and texture lend the scene a serene and timeless quality.

"The Little Street" is characterized by its geometric order and the subtle interplay of light and color. Vermeer's use of perspective and his ability to capture the texture of the buildings and the cobbled street create a palpable sense of space and materiality. The painting's relatively small size, measuring 54.3 cm × 44.0 cm (21.4 in × 17.3 in), belies the depth and richness of its visual impact.

Scholars have debated the exact location depicted in the painting, with some suggesting that it represents a specific site in Delft, while others argue that it may be a composite or idealized image. Regardless of its precise geographical reference, "The Little Street" remains a testament to Vermeer's skill in portraying the beauty of the everyday and his unique ability to imbue the ordinary with a sense of significance and wonder.

The painting's provenance includes ownership by prominent collectors and a history of critical acclaim. It has been analyzed extensively by art historians and is often cited as a key example of Vermeer's work and of Dutch Golden Age painting. "The Little Street" continues to captivate audiences with its quiet charm and remains an enduring subject of study and admiration in the field of art history.
