  • Isabella Brant,a portrait drawing, was executed in Antwerp around 1621, by Flemish artist and diplomat, Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640). Brant (1591–1626) was Rubens' first wife and modelled for some of his portraits until her untimely death in 1626. The portrait is drawn in black and red chalk with white heightening on brown wash paper. This drawing is noted for its 'immediacy and attractiveness, and was the basis for three oil paintings. The first was painted in 1621 by Rubens' pupil, Anthony van Dyck as a gift to his mentor. This portrait now hangs in the National Gallery of Art in Washington. The second, painted by Rubens between 1620 and 1625, is located in the Cleveland Museum of Art and the third also painted by Rubens in 1625, is located in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Following Ruben's death, the drawing passed through five known collectors and was eventually acquired by the British Museum in 1893. During re-mounting work in 1964, a rough sketch was discovered on the reverse side of the portrait. The sketch, also in red and black chalk is presumed to be a self-portrait of Rubens and his second wife Hélène Fourment (1614–1673) with Rubens' child. (en)
  • Le Portrait d'Isabella Brant a été exécuté à Anvers vers 1621 par l'artiste et diplomate flamand Pierre Paul Rubens (1577–1640). Le sujet, Isabella Brant (1591-1626), est la première épouse de Rubens, qui a été exécuté certains de ses portraits jusqu'à sa mort prématurée en 1626. Le portrait est dessiné à la craie noire et rouge avec rehauts de blanc sur papier lavis brun. Le grand détail et l'animation du portrait suggèrent que Rubens avait une grande affection pour sa femme. Le dessin a servi de base à trois portraits à l'huile. La peinture de 1621 de Brant à l'extérieur du portique de la maison familiale a été réalisée par l'élève de Rubens, Antoine van Dyck, comme cadeau d'adieu à son mentor. La similitude frappante entre le portrait et le dessin signifiait que van Dyck aurait eu accès au croquis pour cette œuvre. Le portrait de Cleveland par Rubens, peint entre 1620 et 1625, présente des similitudes telles que les cheveux tirés en arrière et le sourire moqueur (bien qu'il soit quelque peu forcé dans le tableau), mais le modèle est plus incliné vers la gauche. Le portrait des Offices (également par Rubens) a été réalisé peu avant la mort de Brant survenue en juin 1626. Bien que la pose soit similaire, le visage présente des poches en raison de sa maladie.
