An Itinerant Ballad Reader on a Bridge (c.1640-1645). Jan Miense Molenaer (Dutch, 1610-1668). Oil on panel. Gemäldegalerie - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.In 1636 Molenaer married the painter Judith Leyster. Both Molenaer and Leyster may have been pupils of Frans Hals and were certainly influenced by both his style and subject matter. Dirck Hals’ influence was also very important for him, for it inspired Molenaer to paint merry company scenes. -- source link
