"Self Portrait with a Sunflower" is a notable painting by Sir Anthony van Dyck, a prominent Flemish Baroque artist who became the leading court painter in England under King Charles I. The painting, believed to have been created around 1632-1633, is renowned for its symbolic and artistic significance. It depicts the artist in a three-quarter view, turning towards the viewer with a sunflower in his hand, which is thought to symbolize the patron-artist relationship, with the sunflower representing the artist turning towards the patron, much like the flower turns towards the sun.

The self-portrait is a testament to Van Dyck's mastery of elegance and his ability to infuse his works with psychological depth. The inclusion of the gold chain, which was a gift from the king, and the sunflower, are interpreted as signs of the artist's status and the favor he enjoyed at the English court. The painting is also an example of Van Dyck's influence on the development of British portraiture, where his style and techniques would be emulated by artists for generations.

The artwork is executed in oil on canvas and is characterized by its rich color palette, sophisticated use of light and shadow, and the relaxed yet confident demeanor of the artist. "Self Portrait with a Sunflower" is not only a reflection of Van Dyck's self-image but also an embodiment of the cultural and artistic milieu of the 17th century. The painting is held in a private collection, and its provenance and critical reception have been subjects of scholarly interest, contributing to its reputation as one of Van Dyck's most significant self-portraits.
