Portrait of Isaak Abrahamsz. Massa is an oil painting made in 1626 by the Dutch painter Frans Hals. The work shows Isaac Massa, a prosperous merchant who was a close friend of the artist. Massa had already appeared in an earlier Hals painting that also included his wife, Beatrix van der Laen. He later asked Hals for another portrait in 1635, which now hangs in San Diego. It is an oil‑on‑canvas work. If you’re curious, check out the museum: Art Gallery of Ontario.
