HALS (Harmen), Dutch genre painter, born in Haarlem in 1611, died there in 1669. Only son of Frans Hals (1) from his first marriage. This is the son of Hals, of whom by far the largest number of pieces (about 40) are known. The Museum in Haarlem owns pieces by him, while the Mauritshuis also came into possession of a work by him in 1917. He was not a great master, but belonged to the good followers of the Haarlem school. He preferred to paint in a red-brown tone. The influence of his father is especially noticeable in some life-size half-figures.
