"European School (19th Century) - Self-portrait (after The Painting By Anthony Van Dyck)"
Oil on canvas. Original canvas. The ultimate expression of Baroque refinement had to be embodied by an elegant man. Anthony van Dyck, who displayed his refined technique in the palaces of half of Europe, painting portraits of elegant gentlemen and ladies of all nations, reveals his character as a courtly dandy in his self-portrait: the thin mustache, the casually styled hair, the elongated fingers that attest to his exceptional talent, and the face turned in the gesture of a magician-painter reveal a brilliant personality. Dimensions of the work without frame: 40 x 50 cm / 48 x 58 cm with a magnificent custom-made gilt frame.
