In the background is an easel, implying it is in the artist's studio.[3] Van Dyck enjoyed great success in England, producing a number of portraits and becoming court painter to Charles I.
Roqueplan was part of the Romantic movement that flourished in the first half of the nineteenth century.[4] The previous year he had produced one of his best known works The Lion in Love. His depiction of Van Dyck was exhibited at the Salon of 1838 at the Louvre in Paris. Today its in the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la ville de Paris, having been acquired in 1902.[5]
