This work is a fine 19th or early 20th-century oil on canvas portrait, executed after the famous 1623 self-portrait by the Flemish Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens. The artist captures Rubens in his iconic wide-brimmed black hat and dark cloak with a gold chain, utilizing a warm, tenebrist palette to highlight the facial features and the characteristic curl of the mustache. The piece is presented in a classic oval giltwood frame, consistent with the traditional presentation of Old Master reproductions.

  • Subject: A faithful rendition of one of the most recognizable self-portraits in art history, originally commissioned for the Prince of Wales (later Charles I).

  • Execution: Hand-painted oil on board with visible brushwork and a soft impasto in the highlights of the skin and collar.

  • Framing: Housed in a vintage oval gilt frame with a beaded inner liner.

Specs:

  • Dimensions: 23 x 19 inches

  • Medium: Oil on canvas

  • Format: Oval

  • Condition: Good antique condition; minor surface craquelure consistent with age. Frame shows light wear and small chips to the gilding.

Keywords: Oil painting, Portraiture, Peter Paul Rubens, Old Master after, Baroque style, Flemish art, Self-portrait, Oval frame, Giltwood, 19th Century art, 20th Century art, Interior decor, Fine art.
