by Frans Hals
Dutch artist Frans Hals painted this double portrait showing a young child with her nurse. The composition captures the tender relationship between the two figures, with Hals's typically lively brushwork bringing personality to both.
Portraits of children with servants or nurses were popular in Dutch Golden Age society. Hals infused such commissions with warmth and spontaneity that set his work apart. It hangs at the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin.
