Frans Snyders

Anthonis van Dyck, probablement 1626/1641

The image shows a head-and-shoulders illustration of a man's face. The man's head is slightly turned to his right. He has a well-defined face with a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, and a full mustache and beard. His hair is short and wavy, neatly swept to the side. He wears a collared garment, visible only at the top. The background is plain and unadorned, with a visible texture indicative of pencil or pen and ink on paper, giving the entire piece a sketch-like quality.
