Clayton,
Jan Van Eyck was indeed an outstanding painter, ont only for his time. This little painting is so calm and meditative as a budda.

Do you have any more information on the painting, if it is painted on panel and if it is tempera with oil glazes?

It seems to have been painted in his studio, if one look at the window wall with the narrow bench / table. It is visible in his painting of the bridal couple too.

His models, in almost the same pose, are also reused.
