Frans Hals’s *Fisher Boy* (1632) is a portrait of a young boy, likely a fisherman, with a basket of fish and a fish he is holding up. Hals, famous for his loose brushstrokes, captures the boy’s exuberant energy and infectious smile, a hallmark of the Dutch Golden Age, highlighting the everyday people and their lives. The painting is currently housed in the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin.
