Description
English: This is apparently a good early version of RCIN 405670. However, most unusually for a copy, the head has been painted on a separate piece of canvas, which has then been inserted into the larger canvas and the pieces appear to have been depicted by different artists - an inventory of c.1790 notes that the head was 'painted by Van Somer, and made into a whole length by Van Dyck'. The head appears to be of a lesser quality than the rest of the body. It is curious that a copy should have been produced in this manner as such adjustments and additions are more typical in an original version which evolves naturally as the design is refined. (Extracted from the Royal Collection.)
