About the piece
This masterly portrait by Peter Paul Rubens captures Thomas Howard, 2nd Earl of Arundel, around 1630. The work showcases Rubens' characteristic fluid brushwork and sensitive psychological depth, particularly in the Earl's contemplative gaze and the tactile rendering of his fur-lined cloak.
