Dubbelportret van Jan en Hubert van Eyck 1764

This engraving by Jan l’Admiral, dated 1764, depicts a double portrait of the famous Flemish painter brothers Jan and Hubert van Eyck. The brothers are shown in bust-length portraits within oval frames. Jan van Eyck is on the left, and Hubert van Eyck is on the right, both in a seated pose. In the background, an artist's palette and brushes are visible, hinting at the subject matter. The use of hatching and cross-hatching in the engraving creates a realistic depiction of the figures, and the overall composition is balanced and harmonious. This print exemplifies the artistic interest in the Van Eyck brothers during the 18th century.
