Lot Essay

After the paintings in the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence. The Rubens self-portrait is itself an anonymous copy after the original in the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen, Windsor Castle (see F. Huemer, Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard, XIV, Portraits, I, 1977, no. 135, copy 2, pp.152/54, fig. 173). The Van Dyck is also considered to be a copy after the picture in a private Swiss Collection (see E. Larsen, The Paintings of Anthony van Dyck, 1988, II, no. A 298/1, p. 510).
