 5 8 FRANS HALS SECT. ALETTA HANEMANS, wife of Jacob Pietersz Olycan. [See 209.] 1 86. DIRK PIETERSZ HASSELAER (probably). M. 42. Half-length. He sits on a chair facing right, with his head three-quarters right, and looks down to the left. He has a moustache and pointed beard ; his hair is rough. His right elbow rests on the arm of the chair ; his left hand is on his thigh. He wears a dark costume with a broad and close-fitting white lace collar and white wristbands. In the Rijksmuseum catalogue the sitter is identified as Nicolaes Hasselaer (1593-1635); but his wife, Geertruyt van Erp died in 1620, and this portrait, from its style, must have been painted later than that year. [Pendant to 187.] Canvas, 32 inches by 26J inches. Presented to the Rijksmuseum in 1885 by J. S. R. van de Poll. In the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, 1907 catalogue, No. 1089. 187. BRECHTJE VAN SCHOOTERBOSCH (probably), wife of Dirk Pietersz Hasselaer. M. 43. Half-length. She is seen almost in full face, but slightly inclined to the left. She looks at the spectator. She wears a lace cap and a very broad ruff on a very rich dress. The hands are not shown. The picture seems to be unfinished. In the Rijksmuseum catalogue the sitter is identified as Geertruyt van Erp (1596-1620). If this is correct the date of her death must be wrongly given. [See 186, of which this is the pendant.] Canvas, 32 inches by 26^ inches. Presented to the Rijksmuseum in 1885 by J. S. R. van de Poll. In the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, 1907 catalogue, No. 1090.

He bends a riding-whip in his hands, and looks at the spectator. He has a moustache and pointed beard and grey hair. He wears a broad-brimmed hat, and a light-brown costume with purplish-red silk sleeves and a broad white lace collar and cuffs. His cloth cloak with velvet collar has slipped from his shoulders and envelopes his body.

On the wall beyond is a picture, the right-hand top corner of which is covered by a hanging. Signed on the right with the monogram in an unusual form ; panel, 1 8 inches by 14^ inches.
