"Nicolaes Woutersz van der Meer 1631" is a notable portrait painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, created in the year 1631. The painting depicts Nicolaes Woutersz van der Meer, a prominent Haarlem citizen who served as a brewer and later as the mayor of the city. Hals, renowned for his loose painterly technique and ability to capture the vitality of his sitters, has rendered van der Meer with a direct and engaging gaze, suggesting the sitter's confident and assertive character.

The portrait is executed in Hals's characteristic style, with vigorous brushstrokes and a keen attention to the play of light and shadow, which brings a sense of immediacy and realism to the work. The sitter is dressed in the fashion of the Dutch upper class of the 17th century, with a black costume that was typical for the period, accented by a white ruff and cuffs. This attire not only reflects van der Meer's social status but also serves as a testament to the sartorial norms of the era.

As with many of Hals's portraits, the background is subdued, allowing the viewer to focus on the subject's face and hands, which are rendered with particular care and detail. The painting is part of a larger body of work by Hals that documents the civic leaders and affluent citizens of Haarlem, contributing to our understanding of the social and cultural context of the time.
