“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I’ve painted a portrait of Van Elver, who is the fourteenth-century artist [Danish or Norwegian] from whom Seth receives information on painting techniques.^*)

Van Elver the younger. (The cities were) clearing houses for country artists, but many more painters did portraits of wealthy farmers and their land and establishments. These were hung of course in places of honor in the homes.

Even the poorer peasants and farmers bought portraits of themselves, however, from perhaps less gifted artists, and many unknowns took payment for portraits in the form of room and board, and painted all the more slowly.

Family name, as close as I can come: Raminkin, or Ra-man-ken (both my phonetic interpretations). The letters H, E, I, M. These form either the first name or were tacked onto the name just given. (Emphatically): You did my portrait then, too.

(“That’s interesting.” As Seth, Jane pointed to my portrait of Seth; it hung on the wall behind me, so that she faced it as she sat in her rocker.)
