This etching, created by Anthony van Dyck between 1630 and 1633, is a portrait of the Flemish painter Frans Snyders. Van Dyck, known for his elegant portraits, captures Snyders’ likeness with remarkable detail, showcasing his distinctive facial features and attire. The etching, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, stands as a testament to the artistic exchange between two prominent figures of the Flemish Baroque era.
