"A Young Boy with Bird Cage at a Niche" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Willem van Mieris (1662–1747). This artwork is a fine example of the Leiden School of painting, to which van Mieris belonged, and showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail and his skill in rendering textures and light. The painting depicts a young boy holding a bird cage, standing next to a stone niche. The composition is noted for its intimate scale and the lifelike quality of the figures and objects portrayed.

Willem van Mieris was known for his genre scenes, portraits, and history paintings. He was the son of Frans van Mieris the Elder, another prominent Leiden painter, and he continued in his father's tradition of fine, detailed painting combined with a smooth finish that leaves no trace of brushstrokes. "A Young Boy with Bird Cage at a Niche" is characteristic of van Mieris's work in its combination of everyday life with a sense of elegance and stillness.

The painting is significant for its representation of childhood and the portrayal of pets within the domestic sphere, which were common themes in Dutch genre painting. The presence of the bird cage may symbolize the constraints of domestic life or the innocence and freedom associated with childhood. Art historians have noted the influence of Gerrit Dou, another Leiden master, on van Mieris's style, particularly in the use of chiaroscuro and the detailed depiction of materials and surfaces.

"A Young Boy with Bird Cage at a Niche" is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where it contributes to the rich representation of Dutch Golden Age paintings.
