Here are two more by Judith Leyster:

1) The Jolly Companions, which was sold by A. Wertheimer as a Hals and then reattrbuted.

2) The Proposition

I think her work is wonderful. It has a sensitivity quite different from Hals' work, and the brushstrokes are expressive but less energetic than Hals'. To me her work is very distinct from that of other artists of her time.

I found that Amazon carries a book of her work:
