Staande knaap in Van Dyck-kostuum, tegen een rood gordijn gezet 1816 - 1881

"Staande knaap in Van Dyck-kostuum, tegen een rood gordijn gezet" is a watercolor painting by Pierre François Eugène Giraud, completed between 1816 and 1881. The work depicts a young man, perhaps a boy, standing in a Van Dyck costume against a red curtain. The painting is characterized by loose, gestural brushstrokes and a focus on the figure's form. Giraud's use of watercolor allows for subtle transitions in color and creates a sense of atmospheric depth. This artwork currently resides at the Rijksmuseum and is a fine example of 19th-century portraiture.
