Portrait of Stephan Geraedts, Husband of Isabella Coymans
Painting by Frans Hals / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portrait of Stephan Geraedts, Husband of Isabella Coymans is a late oil on canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, made when the artist was about 70. The painting is one of a pendant pair of wedding portraits, now separeted. Hals probably painted the present portrait, Stephanus Geraerdts', an alderman of Haarlem, which was designed to be on the left, and the accompanying portrait of his wife Isabella Coymans (right hand portrait) around 1650–1652, six or seven years after their marriage in 1644. Isabella's portrait is now in a private collection in Paris.[1]

The portraits have been separated since 1886.[2] Though many pendant wedding portraits from the Dutch Golden Age have since been split up, this particular pair of portraits receive the most commentary about this fact in the documentation.[3]
