The Ghent Altarpiece, also known as the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, is a monumental and highly influential polyptych panel painting created by the Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck, with contributions from his brother Hubert van Eyck. Completed in 1432, this masterpiece is housed in St. Bavo's Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium. Among its many intricate and detailed panels, one of the notable sections is the depiction of the donor's wife, often referred to as "The Donor's Wife" (detail).

This particular detail is part of the lower register of the closed view of the altarpiece, where the donors, Jodocus Vijd and his wife Elisabeth Borluut, are depicted in a state of pious devotion. The portrayal of Elisabeth Borluut is a testament to Jan van Eyck's extraordinary skill in rendering lifelike human figures and intricate details. She is shown kneeling in prayer, her hands clasped, and her gaze directed towards the central scene of the Annunciation, which occupies the upper register of the closed altarpiece.

Van Eyck's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the realistic depiction of Elisabeth's clothing, which includes a richly textured and voluminous gown, as well as a finely detailed headdress. The artist's use of light and shadow, along with his mastery of oil paint, allows for a remarkable level of depth and realism, making the fabric appear tangible and the figure lifelike. The inclusion of the donors within the altarpiece serves not only as a display of their piety and devotion but also as a means of immortalizing their patronage and ensuring their remembrance within the context of this sacred artwork.

The Ghent Altarpiece, with its complex iconography and exquisite craftsmanship, remains one of the most significant works of art from the Northern Renaissance. The depiction of the donor's wife, Elisabeth Borluut, is a crucial element of this masterpiece, reflecting both the religious fervor and the artistic innovation of the period.
