002 Portrait of a man - Frans Hals.JPG

Portrait d'un Homme de Frans Hals (1582-1666)
Huile sur toile - 1635
L'homme est assis sur le côté, le bras appuyé sur le dossier de sa chaise. Il semble qu'il se soit juste retourné pour regarder un visiteur attendu. Sa main droite ne correspond qu'au plan de l'image. Les exécutions sont libres, avec des coups de pinceau clairement visibles. C'est un portrait inhabituellement informel pour l'époque.

Portrait of a Man - Frans Hals (1582-1666)
oil on canvas 1635
The man sits sideways, with his arm resting on the back of his chair. It seems as if he has just turned around to look at an unexpected visitor. His right hand only just fits within the picture plane. The execution is free and loose, with individual brushstrokes clearly visible. It is an unusually informal portrait for the time.
