Python Flask url_for (static) with variable [duplicate]

Question

i'm using Flask with Python and want to insert an Image.
That works fine with following command:

{{ url_for('static', filename='path/to/img.jpg') }}

But now i want to insert an image in a loop (like for articles) and need the path out of a variable like:

{{ article.header_img_path }}

How can i insert a variable path into the

{{ url_for('static', filename='path/to/img.jpg') }}

command?
Something like that:

{{ url_for('static', filename=' {{ article.header_img_path }} ') }}

Is there a better way to do that or is just my syntax corrupt?

Thanks for your advise!

The variable should be passed to filename without quotes or braces.

{{ url_for('static', filename=article.header_img_path) }}
