Self-Portrait with Vanitas Symbols

David Bailly
1651
oil on panel
89.5 × 122 cm (35.24 × 48.03 in)
Stedelijk Museum de Lakenhal, Leiden

Self portrait at actual age in oval frame, held in left hand by himself as a young man with maulstick. His wife at a young age in oval picture frame, and again as a ghost (she had already died in 1651) behind the wine glass in the smoke from the snuffed candle. Upper left on the wall is a print of the lute player by Frans Hals. The drawing of the bearded man is presumably his father or a teacher.
