Frans Hals (1582/83 – August 26, 1666) was a Dutch painter during the Dutch Golden Age.
Hals also sometimes did genre painting: fishermen's children on the beach, a greengrocer woman, the ‘village idiot’ of Haarlem, Malle Babbe, and more of such pieces which, in a certain sense, can also be considered portraits, but which were most likely intended as ‘impressions of daily life’.
Hals displayed tremendous daring, great courage and virtuosity, and had a great capacity to pull back his hands from the canvas (or panel) as soon as the portrayed person was on it, alive and well.

Hals has given one here the inner life of his sitter—that which at times one is tempted to declare he cannot give : and that inner life, one may safely say, one which was hardly akin to his own.
Hals gets his hands, in all his portraits, by direct sweeps of the brush, full of very liquid colour, following down the lines of the bones, and obtaining the articulations of the joints with almost imperceptible changes of colour in the onward passage.
