I just discovered your channel, and I am delighted! When Sofonisba was 92, years old, 24-year-old Anthony van Dyck painted her portrait, depicting her (as I see it) as a dignified, sensitive elderly woman who never lost her sense of humor. Van Dyck later said that from this conversation he learned more about painting than at any other time in his life.
