Nicolaes le FebureNicolaes le Febure was a Dutch Golden Age mayor of Haarlem.BiographyHe was the son of Mahu Nicolaesz of Herzele, and Jannetje Gillis. He became judge, magistrate, and mayor. He married Margaretha Deyman on 22 September 1612. He was portrayed by Frans Hals in The Banquet of the Officers of the St George Militia Company in 1627. Because he was a dwarf, Hals portrayed him standing so that he appears the same height as the men sitting. The tallest man in the group was positioned behind him, however, to accentuate his stature. On 13 July 1641, he was buried in Haarlem.
