Young Girl in an Antique Costume, also known as Study of a Young Girl or Girl with a Flute, is a painting attributed to the Dutch Golden Age artist Johannes Vermeer, also known as Jan Vermeer van Delft. This artwork, which is part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is often considered one of the more enigmatic and debated works within Vermeer's oeuvre, with some experts questioning the attribution to Vermeer himself.

The painting depicts a young girl, possibly a teenager, dressed in an exotic costume with a fur-trimmed yellow jacket and a white feathered hat. She holds a transverse flute, a musical instrument, and gazes directly at the viewer with an ambiguous expression. The work is executed in a soft, muted palette, which is characteristic of Vermeer's style, and demonstrates his masterful handling of light and shadow.

The exact date of the painting is uncertain, but it is generally believed to have been created in the 1660s. The small size of the canvas, measuring 20 cm by 17.8 cm, is atypical for Vermeer, and the painting's provenance prior to the 20th century is largely undocumented, contributing to the debate over its authenticity. Some art historians argue that the quality and execution of the painting differ from Vermeer's known works, suggesting it may have been painted by a pupil or follower. Others maintain that it is a genuine Vermeer, albeit a less polished example of his work.

The Young Girl in an Antique Costume is an intriguing piece within the context of Vermeer's body of work, as it reflects the artist's interest in the depiction of intimate, domestic scenes and his fascination with the effects of light and texture. Despite the questions surrounding its authorship, the painting continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and its potential insights into Vermeer's artistic process and the cultural milieu of 17th-century Delft.
