Portrait of a man

Of the many faces in that exhibition, this was one that each of them was drawn to...Portrait of a Man, by Van Eyck. To Coppelia, the features, the expression, bore no small resemblance to the man by her side. She can still recall that quiet moment when they stood, side by side, reflecting on this face, studying the picture, lost in an exquisite shared concentration and understanding which needed no words.
