The Serenade is a 1629 oil painting by Judith Leyster in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.[1] It was attributed for centuries to Frans Hals until Wilhelm von Bode saw it in the Six collection in 1883. He noticed the prominent "J" in the signature, and attributed it to Jan Hals.[1] This is one of seven paintings first properly attributed to Leyster by Hofstede de Groot ten years later in 1893.[1]
