{"product_id":"frans-hals-the-laughing-cavalier-fine-art-print","title":"Frans Hals — The Laughing Cavalier | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA young man with an upturned moustache, a small beard and curling hair looks down at us with a half-smile from under a wide black hat. A broad white lace collar spreads over his shoulders, a black sash crosses his chest, and the sleeve of his doublet is embroidered with gold and coloured motifs on black. His arm is set akimbo with the gilt hilt of a sword at his elbow, and lace spills at his cuff. Lettering at the upper right gives his age, 26, and the year 1624.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHals painted the portrait in 1624. Its title is a Victorian invention: the 4th Marquess of Hertford bought it at the Pourtalès sale in Paris in 1865, outbidding Baron James de Rothschild, and when it was first shown in London it was catalogued as A Cavalier; by its Royal Academy showing in 1888 it had become the Laughing Cavalier. It hangs in the Wallace Collection, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, 1624; Wallace Collection, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrans Hals (c. 1582–1666) was a Dutch painter, born in Antwerp, whose family moved to Haarlem when he was young. He studied there with the Flemish émigré Karel van Mander, joined the Haarlem Guild of Saint Luke in 1610, and lived and worked in the city for the rest of his life, running a busy workshop. He painted portraits of burghers and married couples, group portraits of civic guard companies and hospital regents, and tronies, or character studies, made for the open market. He is known for loose, visible brushwork and lively, informal sitters. His work is held by the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, the Rijksmuseum and the Louvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
