Description: | Signed: yes Description: Abraham de Vries, a Dutch artist who may have worked in France in the 1630s, is chiefly known as a portraitist. In this portrait, he employed an unusual technique in the virtuoso rendering of the sitter's broad lace collar: he applied the paint with his thumb. His thumbprints are still visible in the paint upon close examination. The painting was cut down on the right side at a later date, with the result that much of the artist's signature was lost. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Vries, Abraham de (Dutch painter, ca.1590-ca.1650) Æ Previously attributed to Vries, Adriaen de (Dutch sculptor, ca. 1545 -1626) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9182... | Go to resource |
