Context:
Between 1630 and 1640 Frans Hals, one of the great masters of Dutch painting, enjoyed the patronage of some of the wealthiest citizens of Haarlem. Tieleman Roosterman was an extremely rich merchant, whose business in fine linen and silk fabrics extended as far as France. The self-assured Roosterman is fabulously dressed in a black doublet with slashed sleeves, a wide rabat, or collar, lace-edged cuffs, and breeches. With his right hand he holds a large beaver hat. The inscription at the upper right, painted by Hals, gives the sitter's age (36) and the painting's date (1634). The Roosterman family's coat-of-arms (added much later) also appear at the upper right.The picture was painted when Hals was at the height of his powers, but not yet halfway through a long career that ended in poverty. Few painters have ever matched his technical ability or the certainty of his vibrant brushwork, which gives the image the immediacy of something glimpsed quickly. To seize the fleeting look of his subject, Hals probably used no preliminary drawings, but rapidly laid in the lights, half-lights, and shadows with crisp, incisive strokes, so that the forms in some areas of his paintings tend to disintegrate upon close inspection. He thus excluded all detail that cannot be seen from a normal distance with one glance.Hals had ample commissions until the 1650s, yet portraitists in Holland were poorly paid. Throughout his life Hals was unable to earn enough money to keep out of debt. To support his large family he tried picture dealing, art appraising, and restoring--all without success.
