HALS, Frans: Theodorus Schrevelius

🖼 Theodorus Schrevelius, 1617
Oil on copper set into a wooden panel
16 × 12 cm
Haarlem, Netherlands

Warm light catches the subject's face and crisp white collar against dark background, rendered with loose, confident brushstrokes. This portrait exemplifies Dutch Golden Age portraiture's psychological depth and Hals' revolutionary technique that prioritized immediacy over finish.
