How interesting indeed. I’m studying the Ghent Altarpiece. On the left (the yellow one) — prophet Zechariah Sickle-Seer as depicted by the Russian Orthodox Church, 18th century. On the right, in a fur hat and furs, the same figure as represented by the Roman Catholic Church in the artwork by Jan van Eyck, 1420-1432 (15th century) — precisely a fragment of the altar.

It seems it should be the other way around. Well, just like that

(By the way, it suddenly turned out that tomorrow is his “memorial day” according to the Orthodox calendar)
