A 19th Century Old Master Revival Portrait of Cornelius van der Geest (1577-1638), wearing a frilled collar. Based on the original 17th century oil portrait by Anthony van Dyck, which sits in the Antwerp's Rubenshuis Museum. Cornelius van der Geest was a prominent Antwerp spice merchant and art patron.
This is a 19th Century Old Master Revival piece, a time when skilled copyists and academic painters would reproduce the Flemish and Dutch Golden Age for collectors. Still highly valuable if in good condition. The execution, especially of the ruff collar, facial structure, and warm tones suggests a competent 19th century copyist rather than a crude/amateur reproduction.

During the Victorian era, there was a big revival of interest in the "Old Masters". Wealthy families and collectors commissioned copies of 16ht/17th century style portraits for historic ambiance. Many "ancient" portraits hanging in old English country houses today were actually painted around 1840-1870.
