1620 (ca.), Anthony van Dyck, Cornelis van der Geest -- National Gallery (London)
From the museum label: Cornelis van der Geest (1555-1638) was a wealthy Antwerp spice merchant and an important patron of the arts, commissioning works from both Rubens and Van Dyck. In this animated portrait, the young Van Dyck uses varied brushstrokes to convey the textures of skin and hair. Touches of white suggest the moistness of the eyes and lips.
