The portrait of Anna van der Aar is a masterful oil-on-panel painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Frans Hals, created in 1626. This Baroque period work vividly captures Anna’s character with lively brushwork and keen attention to detail. It is believed to be a pendant portrait to that of her husband, the writer Petrus Scriverius. Housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this portrait exemplifies Hals’ spontaneous style and mastery of capturing personality.
