Frans Hals catalogue raisonné, 1989

The following is the list of 145 paintings indexed as autograph by Frans Hals, written by the art historian and Hals specialist Claus Grimm in 1989. The list is by catalogue number and is more or less in order of creation, starting from around 1610 when Hals began painting on his own. Most of these works are still considered autograph, though one has since been reattributed to Judith Leyster. In addition to this list, Grimm added comments and additional entries to Seymour Slive's lists of lost and doubtful paintings. He also rejected several Slive attributions, making his list is considerably shorter. The autograph catalogue entries are as follows:
