Baroque Style Oil Portrait, The Laughing Cavalier, Follower of Frans Hals
About the Item
19th Century oil on canvas portrait of a cavalier. The painting is signed or annotated top right. There is a supplier's trade stamp to the back of the canvas.
A wonderful jewel of a painting representing a gentleman or cavalier in period dress looking over his shoulder. He sports a characteristic large hat with a red feather plume covering his stylish curly hair. To his neck a fine folded ruff tops a beautiful azure blue silk coat. He looks out enigmatically from the scene sporting his rakish moustache. The whole composition is contained in a 'feigned' oval of fabric to the bottom of the painting. The artist has created a superb feeling of texture to the ruff and coat and his handling of the fabric folds are very successful.
The Laughing Cavalier (1624) is a portrait by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals in the Wallace Collection in London. It was described by art historian Seymour Slive as "one of the most brilliant of all Baroque portraits". The title is an invention of the Victorian public and press, dating from its exhibition in the opening display at the Bethnal Green Museum in 1872–1875, just after its arrival in England, after which it was regularly reproduced, and became one of the best known old master paintings in Britain. The unknown subject is in fact not laughing, but can be said to have an enigmatic smile, much amplified by his upturned moustache.
