"Regents of the St Elizabeth Hospital of Haarlem (detail) 1641" is a renowned group portrait painted by the Dutch Golden Age artist Frans Hals. Created in 1641, this artwork is one of the many civic group portraits that Hals was commissioned to paint during his career. The painting is notable for its depiction of the regents, or administrators, of the St. Elizabeth Hospital in Haarlem, Netherlands. These regents were responsible for the governance and financial oversight of the hospital, which provided care for the sick and needy.

The painting is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of the individual personalities of the regents, a hallmark of Hals' portrait style. He employs a loose, fluid brushwork that brings a sense of immediacy and life to the subjects, distinguishing his work from the more static and formal portraits of the era. The composition of the painting, with figures arranged around a table covered with a richly textured carpet, suggests both the solemnity of their task and the communal effort involved in their administrative duties.

"Regents of the St Elizabeth Hospital of Haarlem" is part of a larger tradition of group portraits in Dutch art, which includes not only civic and guild leaders but also militia groups and brotherhoods. These paintings served both as public records and as demonstrations of civic pride. Hals' work, with its combination of individual characterization and group interaction, captures the essence of this genre.

Today, the painting is held in the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, which houses many of the artist's works. It remains an important example of Dutch Golden Age painting and offers insight into the social and civic life of 17th-century Haarlem.
