Title: Portrait of a Lady
Object type: Painting
Description: Frans Hals’s portraiture is characterized by immediacy in both his light yet confident brushstroke and the vividness with which the models are depicted. The portraits are not lofty like Rembrandt’s; rather Hals seems to have concentrated on conveying direct feelings and pure moods. The generally relaxed demeanor of the models instills a feeling of familiarity, despite not knowing the identity of the person—like the bourgeois woman in this painting.
