"Kalapos Ferfi" (English: "The Man with the Hat") is a painting attributed to the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, known for his masterful portrayal of lively and spontaneous characters. This artwork, which dates from the early 17th century, exemplifies Hals's loose brushwork and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with immediacy and vitality.

The painting features a male subject, depicted from the waist up, wearing a broad-brimmed hat, which has led to the work's informal title. The sitter's identity remains unknown, but his candid expression and informal pose are characteristic of Hals's genre portraits, which often depicted the middle class and working individuals of his time with dignity and a sense of individual personality.

"Kalapos Ferfi" showcases Hals's skill in rendering textures and fabrics, as well as his nuanced use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and volume. The subject's attire and the style of the painting provide insights into the fashion and artistic conventions of the period.

The provenance of "Kalapos Ferfi" has been a subject of interest among art historians, as the attribution to Frans Hals has been debated. While the painting bears the hallmarks of Hals's technique, the lack of definitive documentation has led to discussions regarding its authenticity and place within Hals's oeuvre.

Today, "Kalapos Ferfi" is considered an important work for the study of 17th-century Dutch portraiture and continues to be examined in the context of Frans Hals's contribution to the genre. The painting is also noted for its influence on later portrait artists, who were inspired by Hals's ability to capture the fleeting expressions and moods of his subjects.
