The free, rather bravura style of this sketch of an unidentified sitter demonstrates the influence of the portraitist Anthony van Dyck. Lievens could have been in contact with van Dyck while they were both in Antwerp during the late 1630s and early 1640s or possibly even earlier, during his travels in England (1632–35). The informal spontaneity of this portrait suggests that it is an independent drawing, perhaps depicting a friend of the artist, and not preparatory for a print.
