"Portrait of Karel van Mallery" is a notable artwork by Sir Anthony van Dyck, a distinguished Flemish Baroque artist renowned for his portraiture. The painting, executed in grisaille—a technique involving exclusively shades of grey to create a monochromatic effect—depicts Karel van Mallery, an eminent engraver and printmaker who was active in Antwerp from 1571 until sometime after 1635. Van Mallery was a contemporary of Van Dyck and part of the vibrant artistic milieu of the city, which was a major center for the arts in the 17th century.

The half-length portrait showcases Van Dyck's mastery in capturing the character and profession of his subject. Despite the limited palette, the artist's skillful use of light and shadow brings a sense of depth and realism to the image. Van Dyck's portrayal of Van Mallery not only reflects the sitter's physical likeness but also hints at his intellectual presence, a quality often sought after in the portraiture of the time.

This work is significant as it exemplifies Van Dyck's early experimentation with grisaille, a technique he occasionally employed for preparatory works or to emulate the appearance of sculpture. The painting also provides insight into the network of artists in Antwerp during the period and the mutual respect they held for each other's craft.

As a piece by one of the most influential portraitists of the 17th century, "Portrait of Karel van Mallery" holds a place of importance in the study of European art history. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural exchange and artistic innovation that characterized the Baroque era in the Low Countries.
