1634
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Paul de Vos is a 1634 ink by Anthony van Dyck, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a thick beard and mustache. He’s wearing a ruffled collar and a loose, layered shirt. His hands are clasped together in front of him, and his expression looks serious but thoughtful. The text at the bottom says “PAVLVS DE VOS PICTOR,” which likely means this is a portrait of a painter named Paul de Vos. The artist’s name, Anthony van Dyck, is also listed. If you like this style, check out the technique: etching.
