About ‘Portrait of Nicolaes van der Meer, Frans Hals’
Portrait of Nicolaes van der Meer, Frans Hals
Nicolaes van der Meer and Cornelia Vooght were a prominent Haarlem couple. Van der Meer (c. 1574-1637) was a brewer, sheriff, burgomaster on more than one occasion and an officer of the civic guard. In his post of captain he was also painted by Frans Hals in the civic guard portrait of 1616. The couple were portrayed in two separate paintings, which belong together. The wall in one portrait appears to continue through into the other. Traditionally the portrait of the man hangs on the left and that of the woman on the right. In the course of his long career Frans Hals painted many of these pendant portraits of men and women.
