DYCK, Sir Anthony van: Self Portrait

🖼 Self Portrait, c. 1621
Oil on canvas

Soft brushwork renders a young man in elegant dress, turned slightly toward the viewer with penetrating gaze and subtle confidence. Van Dyck's self-portrait established his reputation as a master of aristocratic portraiture, influencing European court painting for generations.
