Anthony van Dyck c. 1635

This etching by Lucas Vorsterman depicts Anthony van Dyck, a renowned Flemish Baroque painter known for his portraits. Created around 1635, the artwork showcases van Dyck in a three-quarter view, turned away from the viewer with his hand gently adjusting his robe. The intricate details of the lace collar and the textured folds of the garment highlight Vorsterman's masterful etching technique. This print, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, stands as a testament to the artistic admiration for van Dyck's exceptional talent and his influential contribution to the art world.
