Frans Hals - Oil

A noted painting by Frans Hals. The current title is a Victorian era invention
the subject does, in fact, sport an enigmatic smile. The composition is lively and spontaneous, and despite the apparent labour involved in the gorgeous silk costume, close inspection reveals long, quick brush strokes. The portrait is inscribed in the top right that the portrait was painted when the sitter was 26 and in the year 1624. The identity of the man is unknown
when the painting was acquired in 1865 by Richard Wallace's father it was simply called "Portrait of a Young Man". The most likely theory is that the man is in fact a minor Dutch noble from Haarlem. The painting is famous because of the artist's skill at painting the lace of the costume and that the eyes appear to follow the viewer from every angle.
