Portrait of Maritge Claesdr Vooght, Frans Hals, 1639 oil on canvas, h 128cm × w 94.5cm. Frans Hals painted a large number of fine portraits of Haarlem's upper class; apparently he met all the requirements of his distinguished patrons. Maritge Vooght, wife of mayor Pieter Olycan, poses here in a traditional pose, proudly upright, looking straight at the viewer. On the left, Frans Hals mentioned her age: 62. Her coat of arms above it was later added by another hand.
