    analysis‚ the author of the reading suggests several possible interpretations concerning “Double Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife‚” the 1434 oil painting by northern European artist Jan van Eyck. The identity of the couple and the subject matter of the portrait is still shrouded in mystery.
