"Isaac Abrahamsz Massa" is a portrait painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, completed around 1626. The artwork depicts Isaac Abrahamsz Massa, a wealthy Dutch merchant, writer, and diplomat who was known for his involvement in Russian affairs and his writings about his travels. Massa was also a friend of Hals, which is reflected in the casual and lively representation that was a hallmark of Hals's portraiture.

The painting is notable for its relaxed pose and the direct gaze of the subject, which engages the viewer. Massa is portrayed with a slight smile, an element that has been described as a 'Mona Lisa smile' and is considered to be an innovative feature in portraiture of the time. The work showcases Hals's mastery of capturing the vitality and individuality of his sitters, a quality that distinguished him from many of his contemporaries.

"Isaac Abrahamsz Massa" is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 79.5 by 66.5 centimeters. It is characterized by Hals's loose brushwork and keen attention to the texture of fabrics and the play of light on the subject's face. The painting is part of the collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Canada, where it remains an important example of Frans Hals's portraiture and a valuable piece of Dutch cultural heritage.

The portrait is often studied for its art historical significance, as it exemplifies the shift towards a more personal and intimate approach to portraiture during the Dutch Golden Age. It also provides insight into the social and cultural milieu of the 17th-century Dutch Republic, as Massa was an influential figure in the economic and political landscape of the period. The painting continues to be a subject of scholarly research and is frequently included in exhibitions focusing on the Dutch Golden Age and the work of Frans Hals.
