About the piece
Painted in 1630 by the Dutch master Frans Hals, this portrait captures a man at the age of thirty-six with remarkable vitality. The work showcases the artist's signature loose, confident brushwork, particularly in the rendering of the intricate white millstone ruff and the subtle textures of the dark doublet and leather gloves.
