flemish

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rubens for example' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'himself out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'himself' with letters rearranged gives 'FLEMISH'.

'put' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flemish that I've seen before include "Of Flanders, like its language" , "Belgian language" , "tongue" , "Second official language of Belgium" , "from the Low Countries" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
