such as a dog dressed as an imp

I was painting the loneliness of a large city

It depicts a windmill under a stormy sky

Man with a Blue Chaperon ☶ Van Eyck ☴ Canvas Add a Float Frame:Natural best known as Whistler's MotherPortrait of a Man with a Blue Chaperon (1430) by Jan van Eyck depicts a man in a blue headdress presenting a ring. Artists did not title their works in the Northern Renaissance period, so his name and true profession have been lost. As such the painting has attracted several titles: Portrait of a Man with a Blue Hood, Portrait of a Jeweler, and Man with a Ring. The painting is not signed or dated by van Eyck. Albrecht Drer's signature "AD 1492"
