Portrait of an Elderly Dark-haired Man
Frans Halsc. 1657
Kunsthaus Zürich
Zurich, Switzerland
The painting can be assigned with certainty to Frans Hals, despite Slive's reservations, due to technical peculiarities of the painting style and in comparison with the late group portraits. However, the hand with the glove is executed by a coworker (communication Pieter Biesboer).
