This studio reproduction of one of the master's self portraits would have been an important exercise for a student - the high quality of its execution, recalling the work of Willem Wissing who had been a star of the studio and was retained to complete unfinished works after Lely's death in 1680, might suggest it was intended as a gift to one of the painter's many friends and admirers.
