A self-portrait by Sir Anthony Van Dyck has been acquired by the gallery for a record price of £8.4 million. Van Dyck painted the self-portrait in the last months of his life. The painting had remained in the possession of the same family, that of the Earls of Jersey, for almost 300 years. It had previously belonged to the artist Sir Peter Lely, one of Van Dyck's successors as the leading artist of the Stuart royal court.

The price for the portrait breaks the previous record for a work by Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641) of £3 million, and sets a new record for a British 17th Century portrait.

In this first major work on the art of the silhouette, art historian Emma Rutherford draws from dozens of American and European sources to create a fascinating history of the art form, and to illuminate the compelling social history hidden behind it.
