Rembrandt and Hals Visit the Arundel Collection

Frans Hals,  Portrait of a Woman (Judith Leyster?), ca. 1652, New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art

On the basis of a tight timeline of opportunity and visual comparisons between paintings, it is suggested that certainly Rembrandt and likely Frans Hals visited the Arundel collection around the year 1652, and were particularly influenced by portraits of Lord and Lady Guildford, among the many works by Hans Holbein in the collection. Connections are drawn to Rembrandt’s 1652 Large Self-Portrait in Vienna and to Hals’s likely pendant portraits of a woman in the Frick Collection and a man in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
