Van Dyke beard

A Van Dyke specifically consists of any growth of both a moustache and goatee with all hair on the cheeks shaved.

The style is sometimes called a "Charlie" after King Charles I of England, who was painted with this type of beard by van Dyck.

Columnist Edith Sessions Tupper, of the Chicago Chronicle (1895–1908), condemned this style, along with the goatee, as indicative of a man "who was selfish, sinister, and pompous as a peacock.

"[4] The style was worn by van Dyck himself and by many of the sitters for his portraits, including King Charles I of England.

The Van Dyke had a revival in the 19th century[citation needed] and was worn by several well-known figures, including General Custer (among other styles) and the actor Monty Woolley.
