A Man Reading (Saint Ivo?) is the name given to a panel painting in the collection of the National Gallery, United Kingdom. [1] The work has been attributed to Rogier van der Weyden, and as to depict Ivo of Kermartin. [2] The National Gallery's website attributes it to the "workshop of Rogier van der Weyden". [1] It has been claimed that the work is not by van der Weyden or other artists working under his name in Early Netherlandish painting, but is instead a forgery by Eric Hebborn. [2] According to an article published in The Independent by Geraldine Norman, in 1996 Hebborn claimed to have painted the National Gallery's Saint Ivo. [3]
