Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Harringay House Painting: Anthony Van Dyck Self-portrait (copy after)

Long considered to be an authentic work by the artist because of its high quality, it has since been determined to be a copy after a lost original.

The self-portrait depicts van Dyck with a golden chain, probably the one he received from Charles I. as a knight of the English kingdom. The painting is of importance for the self representation of the artist as Van Dyck used the head for one of his rare etchings by his own hand.

Noted by Lempertz as having been in the sale of Edward Gray's paintings in 1838.
