Self-portrait Type:unstretched canvas This miniatureThis portrait has generally been regarded as a self portrait by Jan Lievens, presumably on the grounds of a certain resemblance to Lievens's features as recorded in Van Dyck's 'Iconographie'. The style, however, suggests a Flemish painter such as Jan Cossiers. Cossiers worked for Rubens in the 1630s, developing a free and fluent style. He painted genre subjects, and became one of Antwerp's leading religious painters.
