About this work

This sketch shows a bearded man in a white ruff collar and dark fur trim. His face is turned slightly, with a serious expression. The background is plain, focusing all attention on his wrinkled face and thick beard. The artist signed it as "Van Dyck Feat," which is a clue to who made it. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a sketch rather than a finished drawing. Next, check out Anthony van Dyck to see more of his work.
