His attentive gaze is concentrated on his model, indicating both his artistic purpose and also his veneration for the Mother of God. This detail shows some severe damage to the surface of the painting, of the kind suffered by many Early Netherlandish paintings over the centuries.Artist:WEYDEN, Rogier van der Title: St Luke Drawing a Portrait of the Madonna (detail) Painted in 1401-1450 , Flemish - - painting : religious
