Self-portrait — Karel du Jardin

Karel du Jardin. Painted 1662.

Making a small bow, courtly and courteous, Du Jardin introduces himself with this elegant self-portrait. Painted with flair and precision, the likeness has the air of a calling card, a demonstration of the artist’s skill. And, indeed, Du Jardin received several commissions for portraits from Amsterdam’s elite.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in Main building, 17th Century, Dutch painters in Italy.
