 46 FRANS HALS SECT. Exhibited at the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, Metropolitan Museum, New York, 1909, No. 28. In the collection of S. K. Mainwaring, Otley. In the collection of Henry C. Frick, New York, 1908 catalogue, No. 18. 148. PORTRAIT OF THE PAINTER. B. 77; M. 38. Pro- bably a half-length. The man is turned to the right, but his head faces the spectator, at whom he is looking. He has long flowing hair, and wears a tall hat. He has a moustache and a small pointed beard. He is dressed in black with a white collar. The treatment of the flesh and the costume is very characteristic. There is a certain similarity between this picture and Houbraken's engraving, but it is doubtful whether this is a portrait of the painter. It may be dated about 1650. [Compare 278 and 325.] Panel, 13 inches by u inches. Three copies of the portrait exist 1. In the Dresden Gallery, 1908 catalogue, No. 1360. 2. The picture No. 340 in the Portrait Exhibition at The Hague, 1903, to which it was lent by the Paris dealer Kirchheim. Formerly it was in the possession of the Munich dealer Heine- mann, and of the Frankfort dealer Ricard. Later it occurred at the sale H. J. A. Eyre and others, London, December 9, 1905, No. 121 (^294, Stanley). It was copied from the Porges picture, when that was covered with a thick yellow varnish, giving a greenish tone even to the bluish-white collar ; this explains the dirty greenish-yellow tone which marks this copy. It may be an old copy, but probably does not date from the master's lifetime. 3. The head only. Circular panel with a diameter of 6 inches. See Moes, Iconograpkia Batava, No. 3139, 3.
