About the Item
Flemish School, Early 17th Century
Portrait of a Boy in a Black Tunic
Oil on panel
Image size: 15¾ x 13⅛ inches
This accomplished portrait of an unknown boy in his early teens was painted between 1620 and 1640.
The artist has depicted his sitter with great sensitivity, delicately observing the transition of flesh tonesn his flushed pink cheeks and picking out the wisps of hair around his ears with fine brush strokes. The dramatic play of light and shadow serves to emphasize both the sitter’s face and the gold buttons decorating his doublet, as they shine out against the dark background.
The richness of the boy’s clothing indicates that he was from an affluent family and, despite his tender age, he engages the viewer
with the intense and direct gaze of a confident young man.

Portrait of Geoffrey Chaucer, Oil on Oak Panel Portrait, 16th Century
Located in London, GB
Oil on oak panel
Image size: 14 1/4 x 11 3/4 inches (36 x 30 cm)
Period style frame
This portrait shows Chaucer with a string of beads in one hand and a writing implement in the other. The Arms in the top left of the picture are the Arms of Chaucer, featuring a per pale argent and gules, a bend counterchanged.
This painting appears to derive, like all other portraits of Chaucer, from an illustration in an early fifteenth-century manuscript, Hoccleve's De Regimine Principum. Here Hoccleve included one portrait of Chaucer, showing him with an inkhorn around his neck and holding a rosary in one hand. Since it is likely that Hoccleve had met Chaucer, many scholars believe this could be the most genuine representation of the English writer with all other depictions being seemingly based on it.
In almost all portraits of Chaucer, including this one, the poet is shown wearing a pendant attached to his vest. This item is often considered to be a penner, included in the artworks as a sign of the general occupation of a writer. Whilst the pendant is generally accepted as a case for a writing instrument, possibly with equal plausibility, it has also been suggested that the item is an ampulla, a small lead vial containing water and the blood of St. Thomas Becket...
