About Man in a Red Turban
Portrait of a Man in a Red Turban (1433) by Jan van Eyck is possibly a self portrait, indicated by aspects like van Eyck's larger than usual motto on the original frame, and the subject's unusually direct and confrontational gaze. Art historians describe it as a calling card for prospective clients, demonstrating his abilities and attention to detail. The man is wearing a red chaperon, commonly mistaken to be a turban, the details of which would allow van Eyck to display his skill. The original frame still survives, with painted inscription in Greek letters at the bottom: Johes de Eyck me fecit Ano MCCCC 33 21 Octobris (Jan van Eyck made me 1433 October 21); and his motto at the top: Als Ich Can (as best I can, or as I/Eyck can). This is believed to be a challenge to other artists to do better.
