	Biography
		Hals evolved a technique that was close to impressionism in its looseness, and he painted with increasing freedom as he grew older.
		Frans Hals seems, from the evidence of extant works, to have begun his career with sober portraits and with group portraits of members of the local guilds and military societies.
		Frans Hals lived to be very old, and it is in the paintings of his old age that his genius for portraying human character is fully revealed.

		Frans Hals' younger brother, Dirck Hals, was also a painter, and there is some similarity in his celebration of life to the elder Hals to be seen in his work, though he is less known in our time than in his, and was not quite as sure in his draftsmanship as his older brother.
		Hals is most noted in our time as the first of the painterly painters, whose brushstrokes, by themselves, serve to identify the paintings as his work so surely as to render a signature superfluous.
		Frans Hals showed us their more down-to-Earth, human side, in such a way that we cannot help but see them as being as worthy of our own love, understanding and forgiveness as they are of his.

		Hals was born in Antwerp, Belgium, and probably trained by the Dutch painter Karel van Mander.
		In these group portraits Hals demonstrates his ability to catch each man in a characteristic pose, thus giving the group an air of informality and naturalness; each individual is clearly portrayed, yet all are linked in a well-balanced pattern in line and color.
		In this group portrait, Hals achieves a new dignity and feeling for the character of the subjects that is absent from his earlier works, yet retains a spontaneous effect by the dexterity and facility of his brushwork.

		Frans Hals' Banquet of the Officers of the St George Civic Guard in Haarlem 1627
		The thing about Frans Hals is that his paintings have so much life to them; and it’s hard to explain what Hals was able to accomplish that others had not.
		Hals had never seen a photograph in his life and the idea of a camera was totally foreign to him, but the whole idea of capturing a moment -- a REAL moment -- that is the most telling of his subjects (given the difficulty of a group portrait) came strictly out of his own head.

		While students will enjoy looking at other portraits by Frans Hals, they are sure to enjoy this one of a cackling old woman in a Dutch tavern.
		Hals also painted group portraits of families, city dignitaries, swashbuckling soldiers and laughing children--all with varying degrees of the spontaneous style seen here.
		But we do know that the spontaneity of Hals' painting style--especially in this particular painting--is much like jazz music where the musician chooses his or her notes as he or she plays, as in improvisational music, compared with the careful reading and interpretation of musical notes printed on paper.

		There's no doubt she and Frans Hals were good friends and if she was, indeed, his student, any instruction he gave would seem to have been "after hours." She may also have studied under Frans' brother, Dirck Hals.
		Her work is very much like Hals with the strong influence of the Utrecht School and their devotion to the dramatic, artificial lighting of Caravaggio.
