Self-Portrait with a Portrait on an Easel
by RÉGNIER, Nicolas, Oil on canvas, 111 x 138 cm
This painting is seems to be a tribute to the sitter of the portrait on the easel, who may be identified as Marchese Vincenzo Giustiniani, the collector and patron of Caravaggio to whom R�gnier was ‘pittore di casa’. It has been suggested that R�gnier moved into the Palazzo Giustiniani around 1622.
