Sells his belongings to pay the baker
Creditors take Hals to court several times, and in 1652 he sells his belongings to settle a debt with a baker; the inventory of the seized property lists only three mattresses and bolsters, an armoire, a table and five pictures — by himself, his sons, Van Mander and Maarten van Heemskerck.
