Description: | Signed: yes Description: Several versions of this painting exist. The original oval portrait of Sir Anthony van Dyck, now untraced, is thought to have been painted by the artist himself in the mid 1630s. An informal side view, it depicts the sitter in his mid 30s wearing a white chemise and a green coat. Around his neck is the gold chain which appears in many of his self-portraits, probably the one given to him by King Charles I in April 1633. Among the variants on the work, this one is likely to be rather late and derived from a copy by another artist. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) Æ After | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8918... | Go to resource |
