EYCK, MARGARET VAN, born (?), died
not later than 1430. Flemish school; sister
of Hubert, Jan, and Lambert Van Eyck. She
is said to have been a skilful painter, but
none of the works assigned to her are certainly
authentic. She died before Jan, and
was buried, like Hubert, in the Cathedral
at Ghent. A Madonna, National Gallery,
London, is attributed to her. Biog. nat. de
Belgique, vi. 800; C. & C., Flemish Painters,
