VOS, Cornelis de
(b. 1584/85, Hulst, d. 1651, Antwerpen)

Self-Portrait of the Artist with his Family

1621
Oil on canvas, 188 x 162 cm
Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, Brussels

In this painting the convincingly plastic and realistic appearance of the figures, and the suggestion of texture in the representation of the details of the interior, have an affinity with Rubens's style of shortly before 1620, and give the portrait a greater impression of depth.
