The National Portrait Gallery has posted a series of really excellent videos on You Tube about their newly acquired Van Dyck self-portrait. In the above video, 17th Century curator Catharine MacLeod discusses the picture's technique and possible purpose. 

There's another video here on Van Dyck's career, and one on the conservation of the picture here. Well worth a click.
