Portrait of a Woman (Marie Larp) is a portrait painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, painted in 1635–1638 and now in the National Gallery at London.

Painting

The painting shows a fashionably dressed woman seated in a chair and holding her bridal stomacher with her left hand. This painting was documented by Ernst Wilhelm Moes in 1909 and Hofstede de Groot in 1910, who wrote "232. MARIA LARP (buried November 15, 1675), wife of Pieter Tjarck. M. 78. Half-length, in a painted oval. She faces three- quarters left and looks at the spectator. Her left hand is at her bosom ; the right hand is not shown. She wears a white cap, a ruff, a black dress embroidered with white at the bosom, and lace wristbands. The colour of the face is very life-like. [Pendant to 231.] Panel, 30 inches by 27 inches. See Moes, Iconographia Batava, No. 4378. Exhibited at Brussels, 1882. Sale. Comte d'Oultremont, Brussels, June 27, 1889 (Arnold and Tripp). In the possession of the Paris dealers Arnold and Tripp. In the collection of W. C. Alexander, London."[1]
