''The Floating Feather'' is a renowned oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Melchior d'Hondecoeter, who specialized in depictions of birds and other animals. Created circa 1680, this artwork is also known by its Dutch title, ''Een drijvende veer''. Hondecoeter was celebrated for his ability to capture the naturalistic detail and movement of birds, often set against a backdrop of a park or a palatial estate, which was a popular theme among Dutch aristocrats and wealthy burghers of the time.

The painting showcases Hondecoeter's skill in rendering the textures and colors of various bird species with remarkable accuracy and vitality. ''The Floating Feather'' features a diverse assembly of birds, including domestic fowl and exotic species, which may reflect the 17th-century interest in natural history and the collection of curiosities. The central element of the painting, a single feather floating on water, draws the viewer's eye and serves as a testament to the artist's attention to detail and his ability to capture the delicate interplay of light and shadow.

Measuring 135.5 cm by 160.5 cm, the painting is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it is part of a larger collection of works by Hondecoeter. The piece is considered one of his masterpieces and is often highlighted for its compositional balance and the lifelike portrayal of the birds, which seem almost ready to burst into flight or sound. ''The Floating Feather'' not only exemplifies Hondecoeter's artistic prowess but also provides a window into the cultural and scientific fascinations of the Dutch Golden Age.
