The Gypsy Girl, also known as Gypsy Girl[1] or Young Woman (La Bohémienne)[2] (and sometimes erroneously referred to as Malle Babbe) is an oil-on-wood painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, painted in 1628–1630, and now in the Louvre Museum, in Paris.

The display of cleavage was not a common feature of costume seen in public in Hals' time and place.

From the 19th century the Louvre titled the painting La Bohémienne, meaning a female gypsy, but there is no reason to assume the model was Romani.

[4] The Gypsy Girl was lent out for the 1962 Frans Hals exhibition in the Frans Hals Museum, where she inspired the Haarlem singer-songwriter Lennaert Nijgh to write a song about her which he called Malle Babbe, mistakenly named after another painting in the same exhibition.

The raunchy song became a Dutch hit for Rob de Nijs in 1975 and is still popular in versions by different artists.
