Known for his energetic Dutch genre paintings, 17th century painter Frans Hals depicted bawdy tavern scenes with a combination of loose brush stokes and economy of detail. The effect is fresh and lively.
The Metropolitan Museum in New York is currently exhibiting a small collection of his work, and you can read more about it here.
