Malle Babbe, Oil on canvas, 29 1/2 x 24 in. ( x 61 cm), Paintings, Style of Frans Hals (Dutch, second quarter 17th century), In 1872 Henry James described the painting as 'dashed upon the canvas by a brush superbly confident.' Hals's authorship has been discounted since the 1880s but the picture must be by a close follower, and is based upon Hals's Malle Babbe of the early 1630s (Gemäldegalerie, Staatliche Museen, Berlin) or a lost version of that composition
