Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 38v

Master of the Geneva Latini

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a page from a book with text on the left and an illuminated border on the right. The text is written in black calligraphy and is arranged in paragraphs. The border on the right side of the page features a floral design with blue, green, gold, and red colors. The border includes a large blue flower or plant with gold accents, surrounded by smaller flowers and leaves. The background of the page is off-white, with some discoloration and staining visible. The text occupies the left two-thirds of the page, while the border takes up the right third. The overall design of the page suggests that it is from a medieval manuscript, possibly a Book of Hours. The use of calligraphy and illumination was typical of such manuscripts. The page has a worn and aged appearance, with visible signs of wear and tear.
