In the tenth episode of 'Frans Hals Paintings—The Podcast’, I discuss the painting titled 'Singing Girl' and 'Boy Playing a Violin', both of which are in a private American collection. They are well documented in the last century by scholars, critics, and connoisseurs; Wilhelm von Bode and Seymour Slive considered them to be by Hals, and so did William Valentiner. Slive numbered them 54 and 53, respectively, in his 1974 Hals catalogue raisonné. Claus Grimm, as of 2024, does not consider them to be by Hals. These genre works, whose original purpose remains unknown, show two children merrily making music—both caught in happy moments of fleeting joy, as they sing and play their tune.
