The Metropolitan Museum of Art possesses in its collection a self-portrait painted by the Flemish artist Anthony van Dyck. Executed in oils on canvas, the work depicts its creator during his early twenties.
Description[]
The self-portrait was probably painted by van Dyck during the winter of 1620–1621, which the artist spent in London. Van Dyck chose to portray himself as a country gentlemen dressed in fine clothes; he likely acquired these clothes due to his father being a wealthy clothier.[1]
The painting was donated to the Metropolitan Museum by the American banker Jules Bache in 1949.[1]
