Boy and dwarf with a dog is a 1652 oil by Jan Fyt, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
In this painting, a large white dog stands prominently in the center, its head turned to the right. To the right of the dog, two young boys are dressed in elaborate attire, with the taller boy wearing a red cape and the shorter boy in a blue vest. The background features a dark, muted color scheme, with hints of green and red. The dog's white coat is accentuated by its brown spots, and its gaze is directed towards the right side of the painting. The boys' clothing is ornate, with intricate details and patterns. This painting is a great example of the work of artist Jan Fyt.
Jan Fijt, Jan Fijt or Johannes Fijt (or Fyt) (19 August 1609 – 11 September 1661) was a Flemish Baroque painter, draughtsman and etcher.
