Description: | This is a portrait of three boys in the style of Van Dyck. The boys are attired in seventeenth-century costume, and are arranged from (viewer's) right to left, in the order of youngest to eldest. The arrangement of the children, from carefree innocent to studious adolescent, could suggest a theme of growing maturity, as might the children's respective attributes. The eldest boy rests an open book on a table, the middle child holds aloft a small bird, and the smallest boy a rattle. | Subjects: | portrait; animal (bird) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) Æ School of Previously attributed to Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8355... | Go to resource |
