Leaf from a Gradual: Initial (D) with John the Baptist

Francesco d'Antonio del Cherico

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed, aged parchment with black text written in an old-fashioned font. The text is arranged in lines, with some lines featuring musical notes on a staff. On the left side, there is a decorative border with blue, green, and gold floral patterns. A large, ornate letter "D" in blue is positioned near the top center, with a smaller ornate letter below it. A circular illustration depicts John the Baptist wearing a blue robe and a camel hair cloak, with a halo above his head. He stands in a blue oval, surrounded by a gold border with green and blue floral patterns. The background of the parchment is off-white, with visible signs of aging, including darker spots and discoloration.
