Portrait of Eduard Wallis
Johannes Verspronck and Frans Hals were active as portraitists in Haarlem around the same time. Yet it is
difficult to imagine greater differences between their styles! Verspronck painted smoothly and precisely and
lavished attention on detail. Hals’s handling is much sketchier, and his rendering of details much more
summary. The wealthy cloth merchant Eduard Wallis and his wife evidently preferred Verspronck.
