Abstract
This paper analyses the mention of a quill drawing attributed to Van Eyck in a Valencian postmortem inventory, dated 1452. The properties belonged to Andreu Garcia, a priest well known in the historical record because of his connections with the most notable artists working in Valencia during the first half of the 15 th century. This reference compels a new examination of the ever more improbable presence of Van Eyck in Aragonese territories. It also offers a new insight into the early imprint of his paintings in these lands, given that the first owner of the drawing was the painter Berenguer Mateu (Jaume Mateu’s brother, likewise a prominent Valencian painter).
