Anthony van Dyck, 1617 - Study Head of an Old Man with a White Beard - fine art print

Additional information by the museum's website (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Rubens’s practice of using real people as models for figures in his religious and mythological scenes was followed closely in Antwerp by his younger colleagues Jacob Jordaens and Anthony van Dyck. The present picture was once attributed to Rubens, but its comparatively soft forms and textured surfaces are typical of the young Van Dyck and contrast with Rubens’s emphatic modeling and incisive draftsmanship.

It is used for placing your art copy using a special frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of something between 2-6 cm around the print in order to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The acrylic glass print, which is often referenced as a plexiglass print, will change your favorite original work of art into great décor. Furthermore, the acrylic glass print offers a distinct alternative option to aluminium or canvas art prints. The great upside of a plexiglass art print is that contrasts and small painting details will be exposed thanks to the delicate tonal gradation. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your custom art replica against light and external influences for many years to come.
