Literature
B. Nehlsen-Marten, Dirck Hals 1591-1656, Weimar 2003, p. 315, no. 375, reproduced fig. 217.
Condition
The stable, flat support consists of a single panel, bevelled on all sides, which has not been cradled.
The signed paint surface is clean and secure and though there is some abrasion apparent to the brown tones of the painting this is not obtrusive. No major damages to the work are apparent.
Inspection under UV light is slightly impeded by the varnish covering the work but does reveal extensive spot retouchings to the background and fairly extensive scattered spot retouchings to the figure.
Offered in an ornate black wood northern-style frame in good condition.
