Portrait of Augustinus Gerardus Hubertus van Rijckevorsel — Fernand Khnopff

Fernand Khnopff. Painted 1888.

Van Rijckevorsel commissioned the Belgian painter Fernand Khnopff to paint portraits of himself and his wife Maria, the artist’s aunt. The poetic quality of Khnopff’s paintings had won him popularity as a portraitist among the Brussels bourgeoisie in 1888. From the correspondence about the commission, it appears that Khnopff chose these openwork frames, inspired by Renaissance models, himself.
