More about this artwork

"Portrait of Hendrick van Balen" is a captivating example of the masterful draftsmanship of Anthony van Dyck, created between 1627 and 1632. This drawing, housed in our gallery, showcases the eminent Flemish painter Hendrick van Balen in a remarkably personal and detailed manner.The sketch is executed in a soft, yet confident, pencil line that beautifully captures van Balen's dignified and contemplative expression. His gaze, slightly averted, suggests a moment of introspection or a pause in conversation, evoking a narrative that extends beyond the frame. Van Dyck's expertise in portraiture is evident in the delicate rendering of van Balen's features, from the finely detailed hair and beard to the intricate lace collar that adorns his attire, adding a touch of elegance to his otherwise sober dress.This portrait not only highlights the artistic skills of Anthony van Dyck but also serves as an intimate portrayal of a fellow artist and friend.

Sir Anthony van Dyck (1599 – 1641) was a Flemish Baroque artist who became the leading court painter in England after success in the Spanish Netherlands and Italy.

The seventh child of Frans van Dyck, a wealthy Antwerp silk merchant, Anthony painted from an early age. He was successful as an independent painter in his late teens, and became a master in the Antwerp guild in 1618. By this time he was working in the studio of the leading northern painter of the day, Peter Paul Rubens, who became a major influence on his work.
