About Artwork: (About 1635) "An eighteenth-century label stuck on the back of this painting identifies the sitter as Marie Larp. It forms a pendant to the portrait of her husband, the Haarlem silk dyer Pieter Tjarck. The pair must have commissioned their portraits from Frans Hals soon after their wedding in 1634, when Hals was at the height of his career as Haarlem’s most eminent portrait painter. Larp is shown seated in an upright position within a fictive oval frame, looking directly at the viewer. The stark black and white of her costume might suggest sober restraint, but closer examination reveals luxurious and costly details. Hals’s fluid brushwork records the varied textures of fine linen, thick gold embroidery and delicate lace, and imparts a pleasant, personable character to the sitter’s rosy-cheeked face." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
