"Portrait of a Four-Year-Old Boy with Club and Ball" is a 1611 painting by the Dutch artist Paulus Moreelse, a prominent portraitist and genre painter of the Utrecht school during the Dutch Golden Age. This artwork is notable for its depiction of a young boy, whose identity remains unknown, portrayed with the attributes of a young nobleman engaging in the sport of colf, a precursor to modern golf. The painting is a fine example of Moreelse's skill in capturing the innocence and status of his young subject while also reflecting the cultural and social practices of the time.

In the portrait, the boy is dressed in rich attire, indicative of his family's wealth and social standing. He holds a colf club in one hand and a ball in the other, suggesting not only his participation in the sport but also the leisurely pursuits of the upper classes during the 17th century. The inclusion of these items also serves as a symbol of the boy's upbringing and the expectations placed upon him to partake in the activities befitting his class.

Moreelse's work is characterized by a keen attention to detail, from the luxurious fabrics of the boy's clothing to the delicate rendering of his youthful features. The use of light and shadow in the painting enhances the three-dimensional quality of the figure, a technique that Moreelse, like many of his contemporaries, mastered during this period of art history.

"Portrait of a Four-Year-Old Boy with Club and Ball" is not only a personal representation of a child but also a reflection of the societal norms and values of the Dutch Golden Age. It remains an important work for the study of childhood, sport, and social history in art, as well as for the appreciation of Moreelse's contribution to Dutch portraiture. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and its provenance, as well as any significant exhibitions or publications in which it has been featured, would provide further context for its historical and artistic significance.
