"Banquet of the Officers of the St George Civic Guard" is a renowned group portrait painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Frans Hals, completed in 1616. The painting is one of several works commissioned by the civic guard companies of Haarlem, which were part of the city's militia. These companies were made up of local citizens who were responsible for maintaining order and defending the city. The St George Civic Guard was named after Saint George, the patron saint of soldiers and one of the most venerated saints in Christianity.

The painting depicts the officers of the St George Civic Guard gathered around a lavishly set table, partaking in a celebratory banquet. Hals's masterful use of loose brushwork and his ability to capture the individual personalities and interactions of the officers contribute to the liveliness and realism of the scene. The officers are dressed in their finest attire, reflecting their social status and the importance of the occasion. The composition of the painting is dynamic, with figures positioned around the table in a manner that invites the viewer into the scene.

Measuring approximately 175 x 324 cm, the large-scale work is notable for its depiction of light and shadow, which adds depth and volume to the figures and the space they inhabit. Hals's skill in rendering textures, from the sheen of the officers' satin sashes to the gleam of the metalware on the table, demonstrates his attention to detail and his ability to convey a sense of opulence and celebration.

"Banquet of the Officers of the St George Civic Guard" is considered one of Hals's most important works and is a prime example of his contribution to the genre of group portraiture. The painting is held in the collection of the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, the Netherlands, where it remains an enduring testament to the artist's talent and the rich cultural heritage of the Dutch Golden Age.
