  43. More notes/ conflicting viewpoints • Wedding? This work is not intended as a record of their wedding./ As today, marriages in 15th-century Flanders could take place privately rather than in church. • Pregnant? His wife is not pregnant, as is often thought, but holding up her full-skirted dress in the contemporary fashion. Alice Y. Chang

  44. “Jan van Eyck was here 1434” • The ornate Latin signature translates as 'Jan van Eyck was here 1434'. • The similarity to modern graffiti is not accidental. • Van Eyck often inscribed his pictures in a witty way. Alice Y. Chang

  45. What is inside the mirror? • The mirror reflects two figures in the doorway. One may be the painter himself. Arnolfini raises his right hand as he faces them, perhaps as a greeting. Alice Y. Chang
