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]

Attorno al 1620, van Dyck dipinse tre autoritratti, uno conservato a Monaco, uno a San Pietroburgo e questo a New York. In questo autoritratto van Dyck si mostra ancora una volta sicuro di sé. Indossa un abito di seta nera e fa ricadere la mano, con un anello al dito, con un gesto molle al di sotto del volto.
