"Portrait of a Young Boy Holding a Parrot" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Wybrand Simonsz. de Geest (1592–1661). This painting, created in the 17th century, exemplifies the portraiture style of the period, capturing both the innocence of youth and the wealth and status of the sitter's family. De Geest, also known as "the Frisian Pallas" for his skill, was renowned for his ability to portray his subjects with lifelike accuracy and a rich attention to detail.

The painting depicts a young boy, elegantly dressed, suggesting he belongs to the upper echelons of society. The presence of the parrot is significant; during the Dutch Golden Age, exotic pets were popular among the wealthy and were often featured in portraits to signify the status and the worldly interests of the sitter or their family. The boy's interaction with the parrot adds a layer of intimacy and liveliness to the composition, which is further enhanced by De Geest's use of color and light.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, it is believed to have been produced during the height of De Geest's career, when he was a sought-after portraitist in the Netherlands. The artwork is a testament to the cultural and artistic achievements of the Dutch Golden Age, reflecting the period's fascination with global trade, personal wealth, and the natural world.
