Solution Preview

Van Eyck is a Netherlands artist who painted the Arnolfini Double Portrait. The painting inscribes Giovanni di Nicolao Arnolfini together with his wife but is not regarded to be used as a record for the wedding (Hoe, 2018). His wife is not pregnant, as initially thought based on the portrait’s presentation, rather she is holding her skirt to dress up as this was an important aspect of the contemporary fashion (Hoe, 2018). Notably, Arnolfini belonged to merchant family who lived in Bruges. The portrait depicts the couple in a well-appointed interior to demonstrate money and possessions.
