The artist Franz Hals (1580-1666) was a Dutch Golden Age painter. This piece by him is titled "Man with a Glove in His Hand." Hals was the founder of the Dutch school of genre painting. His masterly delineations of expression and character make his works among the most popular in the world. This painting was one of Hals' favorite small canvases, showing a half-length figure. The man has a strong rugged face beneath a large black hat, set against a sombre background. He wears a black coat, relieved by a white collar. In his left hand, he holds a glove, while his right rests upon his hip.
