In the 12th episode of 'Frans Hals Paintings—The Podcast’, I discuss Frans Hals' portrait of Cunera van Baersdorp, which is in a private collection. The painting has long been attributed to Hals by scholars, nearly universally. Seymour Slive numbered the work number 120, in his 1974 catalogue, and it was identified only in 2012 as the pendant to Michiel de Wael; numbered 85 in the same catalogue. It was not included in any of solo Hals exhibitions of the twentieth century; 1937, 1962, or 1989-1990. It is a masterful work that encapsulates the elegance and sophistication of Frans Hals' portraiture, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and connoisseurs of Old Master paintings.
