EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Paulus van Beresteyn, a prominent figure in Dutch society during the 17th century. Painted by the renowned artist Frans Hals around 1619-20, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 139x102 cm and is currently housed at the Louvre in Paris, France. In this portrait, Paulus van Beresteyn exudes confidence and authority as he gazes directly at the viewer. His three-quarter length pose allows us to appreciate his elegant attire, complete with lace cuffs and a ruff that adds a touch of sophistication to his appearance. The carefully groomed beard further enhances his distinguished presence. The painting holds special significance as it was commissioned to commemorate Van Beresteyn's third marriage to Catarina Both van der Eem. It serves as a testament to their union and celebrates their joyous wedding day. The inclusion of Van Beresteyn's coat of arms symbolizes his noble lineage and social standing within Haarlem society. Frans Hals masterfully captures not only Van Beresteyn's physical likeness but also conveys his personality through subtle brushstrokes and vibrant colors. This timeless artwork provides us with a glimpse into the life of an influential lawyer and judge from centuries past.
