Great seated portrait of Frans Hals (?), who, turned to the left, smiles gently at the viewer. The depiction shows a tastefully dressed young man in a doublet, the collar with fine lace trim and a floppy hat with a brim. Wonderful contrasts of light and dark. After one of the best documented paintings in Frans Hals' oeuvre, the "Portrait of Young Man in a Yellowish Grey Coat" from around 1635 in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister Dresden. It is not clear whether this is a self-portrait.
