Getting started with the collection:
Portrait of a Woman
Frans Hals (c. 1582-1666), oil on canvas, c. 1635
This woman’s pose may be formal, but her facial expression, subtle smile, and the loose brushwork make a spontaneous impression. Her attire reflects her affluence: the dress, millstone ruff, and slashed sleeves were entirely in keeping with the latest fashion and must have cost a pretty penny. The painting is a companion to the portrait of the man on the left.
