Portrait of an Old Man by DYCK, Sir Anthony van

DYCK, Sir Anthony van

(b. 1599, Antwerpen, d. 1641, London)

	Portrait of an Old Man c. 1618 Oil on panel, 107 x 77 cm Liechtenstein Museum, Vienna
This early portrait by van Dyck was painted during the period when the painter was working in Rubens's studio. The elegant armchair, in gold-embossed leather, is probably the same as that in Rubens's Portrait of Jan Vermoelen from 1616.
