Portrait of a Man
Frans Hals (c. 1582-1666), oil on canvas, c. 1635
This man makes a casual impression thanks to the loose brushstrokes, his tousled hair, and his twisted pose. He nevertheless conveys a sense of status by sitting broadly, his left hand on his hip and elbow extending outward. Moreover, he is dressed in the latest fashion. This painting forms a pair with the portrait of a woman on the right. They differ in style: the man is far more freely painted than his wife.
