Self-portrait of Anton van Dyck, copy by Jadwiga Czeczel-Biechonska ante 1863–post 1903 after Anthony van Dyck 1599–1641. Pastel, 67 × 60 cm. The work is a copy of van Dyck’s circa 1630 oil self-portrait oil on canvas, 68 × 58 cm originally created around 1630. Anton van Dyck, Flemish painter, draughtsman and engraver, student of Rubens, was an excellent portrait painter and produced likenesses of many contemporary figures as well as numerous self-portraits. The oil self-portrait adorned royal apartments in the 17th century and was temporarily exhibited at the Louvre in the late 19th century, where artists often copied works on display; Jadwiga Czeczel-Biechonska made this pastel copy in Paris, 1876., An oval portrait of a person shown from the shoulders up, turned slightly to the viewer's left, with light skin and brown wavy hair and facial hair including a mustache and small beard. The figure wears a white shirt with visible collar and a dark green outer garment. The background is a warm brown gradient that darkens toward the edges, contained within an oval frame, and the surrounding area outside the oval is a dark gray. Visible colors include brown, tan, white, green, gray, and subtle flesh tones.
