B Documentary workshop replicas, copies and variants
Several paintings by Hals are only documented through repetitions. Where there are several of these that are all based on the same composition, those that are closest to the date of creation and most reliable have been listed first. Furthermore, this section includes documentary partial repetitions and variants that reflect an original execution by Hals which does not survive accordingly in the preserved originals. These comparative examples serve the purpose of clarifying Hals’s subject matter and the understanding of his workshop practices, including the making of copies and variants.
