Inside a Van Eyck Oil Panel

“A panoramic scene painted in the style of Jan van Eyck's Early Netherlandish oil panels, with a jewel-like enamel surface, microscopic detail, and a palette of garnet red, malachite green, and gold leaf. Foreground shows a couple in heavy velvet and fur joined hand to hand in a sunlit chamber, a small dog at their feet and a discarded pair of pattens on the tiled floor. Midground reveals a convex round mirror on the back wall reflecting the entire room and two witnesses in the doorway. Background shows a brass chandelier with one lit candle, an orange resting on the window sill, and a strip of garden beyond the leaded glass.”
