拍品专文

The present lot is one of a number of versions after an original by van Dyck in the collection of Queen Elizabeth II, Buckingham Palace, England. That the present work was originally painted on panel is somewhat unusual for a studio piece given that the original has a canvas support. This consideration, along with the numerous pentimenti evident, suggests that van Dyck might have been involved in the final retouching of the present work.
