"Portrait of a Boy as Cupid, Three-Quarter-Length, in Classical Costume, Wearing a Feathered Hat, Holding a Bullfinch, a Spaniel Beside Him" is a notable work by Dutch Golden Age painter Nicolaes Maes. Created in the 17th century, this painting is an exquisite example of Maes' portraiture, showcasing his skill in capturing the innocence of youth and the rich textures of fabrics and materials. The subject of the painting is a young boy, depicted in the guise of Cupid, the Roman god of love, which was a popular theme in Baroque art. The boy is dressed in classical attire, complete with a feathered hat, which adds a touch of whimsy to the composition.

The painting is remarkable for its attention to detail, evident in the rendering of the boy's delicate features and the intricate costume. Maes' use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensional quality of the figure, while the inclusion of a bullfinch in the boy's hand and a loyal spaniel by his side introduces elements of symbolism and companionship. The bullfinch often represents love and the spaniel loyalty, which may allude to the virtues associated with Cupid.

Nicolaes Maes, a pupil of Rembrandt, was known for his genre scenes and portraits. His works are characterized by their domestic intimacy and psychological depth. "Portrait of a Boy as Cupid" is a testament to Maes' ability to blend portraiture with allegorical themes, creating a work that is both personal and emblematic. The painting is an important piece within Maes' oeuvre, contributing to our understanding of Dutch portraiture and the broader cultural context of the period in which it was created.
