I finally finished grading my finals from last month and entered in my grades. I was well ahead of the midnight tonight deadline. Normally I have my grades posted before I leave for Winter break, but this was not a normal year.

Today's artwork is Portrait of Giovanni Amalfini and his Wife by Jan Van Eyck 1434
Can you find the artist's self portrait and signature in the picture?
