Portrait of Martin Ryckaert, from "The Portfolio"

February 1890

Not on view

Macbeth-Raeburn uses etching to translate Van Dyck's affecting portrait of the Flemish landscape painter Martin Ryckaert (now at the Prado) into print. When published in "The Portfolio," the work was accompanied by a commentary by the art historian Walter Armstrong (1850–1918). The artist was praised by the "Leeds Mercury" who remarked that the etching had "much of the character of Rembrandt's work."
