HALS, Frans and CODDE, PieterThe Meagre Company1633-37Oil on canvas, 207,3 x 427,5 cmRijksmuseum, Amsterdam
Hals was commissioned to paint this civic guard portrait in 1633. By 1636 the work was still unfinished and the commission went to Codde, who finished it a year later. Hals is said to have done the left side of the painting, up to the man in light clothes in the centre, as well as many of the hands and faces. The rest is by Codde.

The Dutch national art collection had its origin in the Royal Museum erected by Louis Bonaparte (Napoleon's brother) as King of Holland in 1808.
The idea of the Royal Museum was to assemble Netherlandish paintings of national importance and also to stimulate contemporary art. In 1815 the collection
was transferred to the Trippenhuis, where it was opened in 1817 as the Rijksmuseum (State Museum).
The present building, a large Gothic Revival structure designed by P. J. H. Cuypers, the outstanding Dutch architect of the 19th century, was opened in 1885.
In 1922 F. Schmidt Degener, formerly of the Boymans Museum at Rotterdam, became Director of the Rijksmuseum, modernized the display, and began the
acquisition of foreign works of art.
The Rijksmuseum has the most comprehensive collection of 17th century Dutch art in the world, and although representation in other areas is uneven, it is strong
in certain fields, such as oriental art.
