About the piece
Created in 1611, this compelling work by the Dutch master Frans Hals depicts Jacobus Zaffius, a Catholic provost in Haarlem. The painting showcases Hals' ability to render texture and life, from the soft white beard and weathered skin to the rich fur trim of the robe. A family coat of arms is visible in the background, adding a touch of heraldic history to this formal composition.
