The Master of the Female Half-Lengths (sometimes referred to as Master of the Half-Lengths)[1] is the notname given to a painter, or more likely a group of painters of a workshop, active in the Low Countries in the early sixteenth century. The name was given in the 19th century to identify the maker or makers of a body of work consisting of 67 paintings to which since 40 more have been added.[2] The Master created female figures in genre scenes, small religious and mythological works, landscapes and portraits.[1]
