Workshop of Peter Paul Rubens
Skillfully copying a study by Peter Paul Rubens, this unknown artist, probably an assistant in Rubens's studio, explored a variety of facial expressions and poses while retaining the liveliness and immediacy of Rubens's original sketch. Using a single dim source of light, he created strong contrasts of brightness and shadow on the man's skin, varying these along with the different expressions. He aptly captured Rubens's great achievement--the three-dimensional quality of his modeling and the pulsating vitality he bestowed on painted human flesh.
Rubens produced a celebrated series of studio heads, executing some from life and inventing others from imaginary stock figure types. He kept these preliminary studies permanently on hand in the studio for reference. These studies of an African may have been used as a source for one of the kings in the Adoration of the Magi, who was often depicted as a Moor. Aside from this subject, images of African figures were uncommon in European Renaissance and Baroque art.

A poster is appropriate for framing your art print with the help of a personal frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2 - 6cm round about the print motif to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
- Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with a true depth effect - for a modern impression and non-reflective surface. For your Direct Aluminium Dibond print, we print the work of art right on the aluminium surface. The colors are luminous, fine details of the print appear crisp.
- Acrylic glass print: A glossy acrylic glass print, which is often described as a print on plexiglass, will transform the artwork into décor and makes a good alternative option to dibond or canvas art prints. The artwork will be manufactured with the help of modern UV printing technology. This creates sharp, vibrant color shades. With an acrylic glass art print contrasts plus smaller color details become visible thanks to the very subtle tonal gradation.
