Self-portrait Type:unstretched canvas The attribution was suggested byThis 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'.

He painted genre subjects, and became one of Antwerp's leading religious painters.
