Random Picture Thread Vers.4

Another old classic

 

AJ was lucky to get out of that.

 

was he - i can't see the sand castle or the narrow boat in this one?

 

Whatever her nationality, that's a hell of a dose!

He was bloody good with colours!

 

lovely though this is, i can't see it fetching £12K

 

Is that a selfie of the artist in the mirror?

 

Its the artist, Jan van Eyck, dated 1434.

 

I didn't realise that that portrait contained such intricate images, incredible

 

It's not a huge picture either: 82 cm high by 60 cm wide. The mirror on the back wall is only about 5" wide on the canvas yet it's a detailed picture within a picture. The brush used must have been just a single hair.

 

Selfie...
