Description: | This full-length portrait of a little boy was donated by William Burrell who assembled the wide-ranging collection of art in Glasgow which is named after him. The artist and the sitter in the portrait are unknown, although the style of the painting is Frisian and it is close to the work of Adriaen van der Linde, who was active in the later years of the sixteenth century. The little boy is formally dressed in long skirts, as was customary for small boys until they were 'breeched', and he holds an elaborate silver rattle or rinkelbel in his hands. | Subjects: | figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Linde, Adriaen van der (Dutch, act.1595-d.1609) Æ Attributed to circle of Previously attributed to Suttermans, Justus (Flemish painter, 1597-1681, active in Italy) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8548... | Go to resource |
