Original – Léal Souvenir (also known as Timotheus or Portrait of a Man) is a small 1432 oil on oak panel portrait by Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck. The sitter has not been identified, but his individualistic features suggest that the portrait is based on a historical person rather than a hypothetical ideal, as was usual in northern European portraiture before van Eyck

• Comment It's a Yorck Project image, which puts me in "highly doubtful" territory to start: I haven't seen a Yorck Project scan yet that had decent colours. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 03:11, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
  • Where does it say that this version is a Yorck scan? Their travesty is at File:Jan van Eyck 092.jpg. This looks very similar, if not the same as, the NG's scan (see full resolution there), and the metadata includes the NG's copyright information. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:22, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
