About the piece
Painted around 1651, this masterful portrait by Frans Hals exemplifies the artist's ability to imbue his sitters with life and presence. The subject is depicted in formal Dutch attire, where the stark contrast of his white collar and the luminous treatment of his face draw the eye amidst a rich, atmospheric dark palette.
