Portrait of the Artist
View through Europeana Collections
This painting seems to have been something of a face-saver. In 1621 Rubens supplied Lord Danvers with a Lion Hunt (now lost), a studio work, not knowing that it was intended for Charles, Prince of Wales. Danvers had it sent back as 'a peese scarse touched by his own hand'. Rubens seems to have planned with Lord Danvers to make a peace offering to the Prince the moment he realised his mistake.
