# Girl in a Blue Dress [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VERSPRONCK, Jan Cornelisz]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 82 x 66,5 cm ## Commentary Verspronck was more than twenty years younger than Frans Hals and may have worked in his studio. He was certainly powerfully influenced by Hals's bold, linear style and his assertive poses. However, Verspronck's technique is less sketchy, his heads more elaborately worked up: he works in a more refined and detailed manner. This subtle and charming portrait of a young girl holding an ostrich-feather fan is one of Verspronck's most outstanding works. The delicately modelled face and the careful detailing of the dress and jewels set it apart from the work of Hals and give it a quite individual and striking effect. ## Related artworks - [Andries Stilte as a Standard Bearer]() - [Portrait of a Bride]() - [Portrait of a Lady]() - [Portrait of a Man and Portrait of a Woman]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [Portrait of a Woman]() - [Portrait of Anthonie Charles de Liedekercke]() - [Portrait of Cornelis Montigny de Glarges]() - [Portrait of Margaretha Dicx \(1634-1697\)]() - [Portrait of Willemina van Braeckel]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
