Self-portrait
Karel du Jardin, 1662
Making a small bow, courtly and courteous, Du Jardin introduces himself with this elegant self-portrait. Painted with flair and precision, the likeness has the air of a calling card, a demonstration of the artist’s skill. And, indeed, Du Jardin received several commissions for portraits from Amsterdam’s elite.
