"Gypsy Girl" (1628-30), also known as "Malle Babbe," is a renowned oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals. The artwork is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of a young woman, often thought to be a Romani girl or a local Haarlem character, which has been subject to various interpretations over time. The painting is characterized by Hals' signature loose brushwork and his ability to capture the vivacity of his subjects with a sense of immediacy and realism.

The painting measures approximately 58 cm by 52 cm and is part of the collection at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. It showcases Hals' mastery in rendering textures and his innovative use of lighting to accentuate the facial features and expressions of the sitter. The subject's direct gaze and the lively handling of her clothing and accessories contribute to the sense of personality and presence within the work.

Created during a period when Hals was at the height of his artistic powers, "Gypsy Girl" reflects the artist's interest in depicting figures from various walks of life with dignity and psychological depth. The painting's informal composition and the model's engaging expression were somewhat unconventional for the time, suggesting Hals' progressive approach to portraiture.

The identity of the woman in the painting has been the subject of speculation, with some suggesting she may have been a local tavern-goer rather than a Romani. The alternative title "Malle Babbe" stems from a later interpretation of the subject as a woman known for her boisterous behavior, which was popularized by a namesake song in the 20th century.

"Gypsy Girl" remains a significant work in the oeuvre of Frans Hals and in the broader context of 17th-century Dutch portraiture. It continues to be studied for its artistic qualities and its reflection of the social attitudes and cultural milieu of the Dutch Republic.
