Single Leaf: Table of Consanguinity

Cleveland Museum of Art

Single Leaf: Table of Consanguinity by an unknown artist. The image depicts a medieval-style illustration on a single leaf of parchment. The illustration is framed by a border with a blue and gold design. Inside the frame, two figures stand on either side. The figure on the left is a man with short, light-colored hair, wearing a blue cloak over a white tunic and holding a book. The figure on the right is a woman with a white head covering, wearing a red cloak over a blue dress. Between the figures is a decorative tree-like structure with gold accents and a large, curved line extending to a table with 28 circles containing text. The background features a red and blue color scheme. The illustration includes gold accents throughout. The leaf appears aged, with visible signs of wear and tear.
