Frans Hals's younger brother Dirck probably studied with him and perhaps with the Rotterdam genre painter Willem Buytewech (1591/92–1624), who worked in Haarlem about 1612–17. Like Buytewech, Dirck was a specialist in depicting small figures, often with close attention to fashionable costume details. His colorful and painterly technique owed a great deal to his more gifted older brother, whose style and subjects are studied in the Museum's current exhibition, "Frans Hals in the Metropolitan Museum" (July 26–October 10, 2011). The present painting is generally abraded by cleaning in the past; wood grain is visible throughout the thinned paint layers, especially in the lighter passages.
