His watery, ill-looking face in Van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait (1434) in the National Gallery must be pretty much what Arnolfini looked like. This is a real face. The cleft chin, the heavy-lidded half-asleep eyes were painted again by Van Eyck several years later; there is no reason to think he made them up. The date - 1434 - is precise because Van Eyck painted it above the mirror at the back of the room, with the graffiti declaration Jan Van Eyck was here.

The Blue Boy The Blue Boy. The Blue Boy (1779) is a full-length portrait in oil by Thomas Gainsborough, now in the Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Contents. History. Perhaps Gainsborough's most famous work, it is thought to be a portrait of Jonathan Buttall (1752–1805), the son of a wealthy hardware merchant, although this has never been proven.
