Answer:
The mysterious picture is a story written by Charles De Coster. He is called a father of Belgium literature. The story is about a boy named Tyl Ullenspiegel. He was from Flander. He desired to make a portrait of a known Archduke.
Tyl once went to the palace of the Archduke of Battenburg. He talked to the Archduke in such a pleasing way that the Archduke appointed him as his court-painter. After a wonderful dinner the Archduke demanded that Tyl painted his portrait and Tyl agreed.
Before he commenced (started) the painting, the courtiers had threatened to kill him if he painted them with any signs of ageing or scars. Although he agreed to obey their instructions, Tyl was called by the Archduke to remind him that he was to paint each courtier as natural and exactly as possible. Now, Tyl realizes that would die if he agreed to the Archduke or the courtiers.
Tyl soon saw that he was not able to paint the portrait in any case. On one side, if he painted any of the courtiers as they looked, they would kill him and on the other, if he beautified any of them, the Archduke would kill him. He told that he would paint the Archduke with the Duches (the Duke’s wife) and all the courtiers around them.
