I found this piece today in the old gold frame. Examined it outside of the frame looks like an oil on board. It is not signed anywhere from what I can see. I thought some might enjoy it.

Jester with a Lute by Frans Hals.As said above the original is in Louvre.
tubeamp and ivan49 thanks for the info! Yes, clearly a rendition. It looks more like the print than the original oil.

I wonder what the age of this piece is though, it looks like it could be older based on condition and wear. But I would be pretty much guessing. Thanks again.
I downloaded both the original and yours, placed them side by side and there was obvious difference in details.Prints are made after a photographic image and 100 % match the original. So, I think it`s oil painting.The age is really difficult to determine based on board (e.g. plywood was invented end 18th century). The frame is original and looks old.
