''Willem van Heythuysen posing with a sword'' is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, painted in 1625 and now in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich. It shows the Haarlem cloth merchant Willem van Heythuysen in a theatrical pose with a rapier. ==Painting == The painting shows a proud man standing in front of a neoclassical architectural element with drapery, leaning on a sword. In the distance a garden with a couple can be seen, and in the foreground some roses lie on the ground. It was first documented by Adriaan Loosjes, who mentioned it in his tribute to Hals in 1789 as being in the collection Gerrit Willem van Oosten de Bruyn.〔Adriaan Loosjes Pz., ''(Frans Hals; Lierzang )'', 1789〕 Much later Ernst Wilhelm Moes included it in his ''Iconographia Batavia'', and Hofstede de Groot documented it again with the following description: "WILLEM VAN HEYTHUYSEN. B. 123; M. 44. Full-length ; life size. He stands with the left foot forward and the right drawn back. His figure is turned three-quarters left ; his head almost faces the spectator, at whom he is looking. His left hand is pressed to his side ; his right hand clasps the hilt of a sword with its point on the ground. He has a moustache and pointed beard. He wears a broad-brimmed hat, a white collar like a ruff trimmed with lace, and a very richly trimmed costume of dark blue with broad lace-trimmed cuffs. Behind him a lilac- brown drapery hangs on a fantastic piece of architecture ; to the left is a view of a French garden ; on the ground lie roses. Painted about 1635."〔 (Hofstede de Groot ) on Willem van Heythuysen; catalog number 191〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Willem van Heythuysen posing with a sword」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
