Antique Portrait, Possibly After Peter Paul Rubens | 19th / Early 20th Century

A wonderfully atmospheric antique portrait, inspired by or depicting Peter Paul Rubens, and closely related to the familiar Old Master image of the artist in his dramatic wide-brimmed black hat.

It has everything I love in an antique portrait - a strong face, dark moody palette, beautiful age, and an especially handsome oval giltwood frame.

For anyone building a portrait collection, this is exactly the kind of piece that adds history, mystery and a recognizable Old Master reference without feeling overly formal.
