Label TextLike Whistler’s Becquet, Van Dyck did not complete this portrait of Phillippe Le Roy beyond the highly detailed face. Unlike Whistler, however, Van Dyck would turn his plates over to craftsmen who would “complete” the compositions by adding a body and backgrounds.Published References"La chronique des arts," GAZETTE DES BEAUX-ARTS, vol.
