Portrait of a Man: Detail of right hand
Detail of right hand ; Frans Hals, foremost painter in the Dutch city of Haarlem, was one of the most original and penetrating portraitists of the 17th century. This work, painted when the artist was in his eighties, is striking for the freedom of its vigorous brushwork. At the time, an admirer described Hals's late portraits as "very rough and bold, nimbly touched and well-ordered. They are pleasing and ingenious and, seen from afar, they seem alive and appear to lack nothing." (http://www.mfa.org)
