"Boy Looking for Fleas on a Dog" is a painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Pedro Núñez de Villavicencio. Born in Seville in 1635, Villavicencio was a contemporary of other prominent Spanish painters such as Murillo, to whom he has been stylistically compared. The painting depicts a candid moment of everyday life, a genre scene that was popular during the Baroque period. It portrays a young boy attentively searching for fleas on a dog, a subject that reflects the artist's interest in naturalism and the portrayal of common folk.

The artwork is significant for its representation of the intimate relationship between humans and animals, as well as for its attention to the details of the boy's expression and the textures of the dog's fur. The use of light and shadow in the painting enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and emphasizes the concentration of the boy on his task. This piece is an example of Villavicencio's skill in capturing the simplicity and innocence of childhood, as well as the mundane aspects of daily life in 17th-century Spain.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, it is believed to have been produced during Villavicencio's mature period. The painting is often noted for its realistic portrayal and the artist's ability to evoke empathy from the viewer for the subjects depicted. "Boy Looking for Fleas on a Dog" is considered one of the notable works of Villavicencio's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of genre painting in the Spanish Baroque tradition. The painting is housed in a collection or museum that preserves and exhibits Villavicencio's work, allowing art enthusiasts and scholars to appreciate this intimate glimpse into the everyday life of the past.
