Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts two medieval-style illustrations. The left illustration shows two people, one with wings and a halo, holding a staff with a flame on top; the other person also has a halo and holds a book; both wear white robes. The background includes blue, green, and pink. The right illustration shows a person reclining on a bed with a halo; another person sits beside the bed; an angel with wings appears above; two animals, possibly a donkey and a cow, are near the blue background; a green wall is behind the bed. Black text appears on both illustrations. The illustrations are displayed side-by-side on a white background.
