This is a self portrait, and going by what his contemporaries said about the artist – Jan Lievens – we shouldn’t be surprised at his self-confident air. An English ambassador, Sir Robert Kerr, wrote a letter describing him: ‘he thinks there is none to be compared with him in all Germany, Holland, nor the rest of the 17 Provinces [of the Low Countries].’\n\nLievens' dress is that of a man of wealth and fashion, and the landscape behind suggests the formal grounds of a country estate. The aristocracy were among his most important customers: he was demonstrating that he could paint them in a suitable style. But the confidence of his pose suggests that he may have considered himself their social equal too.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/jan-lievens-self-portrait\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Self Portrait\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jan Lievens","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509721993459,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (37 7\/8\" x 30 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509722026227,"sku":null,"price":1898.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20\" x 16\")","offer_id":50509722058995,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 1\/2\" x 19 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509722091763,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30\" x 24\")","offer_id":50509722124531,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (38 5\/8\" x 31\")","offer_id":50509722157299,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (46 3\/8\" x 37 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509722190067,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (54 3\/4\" x 44\")","offer_id":50509722222835,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (65 5\/8\" x 52 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509722255603,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/SelfPortrait.jpg?v=1788840751","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/self-portrait-ngal942","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
