"De Pissende Jongen" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Nicholas Verkolje (1673–1746), who was known for his portraits, genre scenes, and allegorical works. The painting depicts a young boy urinating, a subject that echoes the more famous "Manneken Pis," a bronze sculpture in Brussels. Verkolje's work is characteristic of the Dutch Baroque period, which often included scenes of everyday life, known as genre paintings.

The painting showcases Verkolje's skill in capturing the play of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail and ability to convey the textures of different materials. The depiction of the boy in a candid, naturalistic moment reflects the Dutch taste for realism during this era. "De Pissende Jongen" is also an example of the artist's more lighthearted and humorous works, contrasting with his more formal portraits and mythological scenes.

Nicholas Verkolje, born in Amsterdam, was a pupil of his father, Jan Verkolje, and became a respected artist in his own right. His works are part of various museum collections and reflect the transition from the high Baroque to the Rococo style. "De Pissende Jongen" not only provides insight into Verkolje's oeuvre but also contributes to the understanding of cultural and artistic norms in the Dutch Republic during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

While "De Pissende Jongen" may not be as widely recognized as some of Verkolje's other works, it remains a significant piece for studying the artist's body of work and the genre painting tradition of the Dutch Golden Age. The painting's current location, provenance, and critical reception could provide further context for its significance within Verkolje's career and the broader scope of Dutch painting.
