1963 Rubens “Study of a Young Man” F.A.P. Antiquity Collection Wood Plaque

This is a beautiful vintage 1963 wood-mounted art plaque titled “Study of a Young Man,” from the Antiquity Collection by Fine Arts Prints (F.A.P.) Design Workshop. The image is a high-quality reproduction of a drawing by the Flemish Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640), celebrated for his dynamic compositions and expressive anatomical studies.

Rubens’ original drawing, sometimes referred to as A Study for Daniel in the Lions’ Den, was created as a preparatory study for his famous oil painting housed in the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. The piece captures a figure in deep emotional intensity, rendered with powerful line work and dramatic shading that typify Rubens’ mastery of movement and form.
