I am starting a big NRC editorial for next week. About a classical music chatbox. The Geertgen tot Sint Jans painting popped into my head, it's a virtual space surrounded by musicians, maybe I can do something with that idea. I am quite sure I have a book with this painting in it somewhere. How many books with fifteenth century painting in them can a person have? I could not find the blasted painting. And all that time, it had been one click away.

The drawing by Franciszka Themerson is extra. I added it because of the similar composition. Franciszka could draw music like nobody else.

Must be an ancestor of ours. The picture is a definite Eliane.

You're right, Peter, at first glance I thought it was an original Duvekot as well.

wat een hemels schilderij!

Eén treinkaartje hiervandaan, maar. Nederland is fijn, soms.
