Lot Essay

The figure of the woman in the white head-dress is recurs in the signed picture in the Brkenthal Museum, Sibiu, and in that recorded in a private collection, Germany, 1959 (photographs in the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie, The Hague). For biographies of the artist, see A. Bredius, Harmen Hals te Vianen, Oud Holland, 1909, p. 196 and A. Bredius, Archiefsprokkels betreffende Harmen Hals, Oud Holland, 1923, p. 62.
