Description: | This bust-length portrait of an elderly gentleman is painted in the style of the renowned Flemish artist Anthony van Dyck. The sitter's features bear some resemblance to Van Dyck's portrait of the royalist army officer Jacob, the First Lord Astley (1640, private collection) which was well known through reproductions such as an engraving published in 1816. In the first catalogue of Sir William Holburne's collection (1867), published during Holburne's lifetime, this portrait was attributed to the Bath artist Thomas Barker, with whom Holburne was acquainted. Barker painted many copies and pastiches in the style of famous old masters. | Subjects: | portrait (man gentleman) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Barker, Thomas (English painter and lithographer, 1769-1847) Æ Attributed to Attributed to after Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) Previously attributed to Stone, Henry (British painter, 1616-1653) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8669... | Go to resource |
