Leaf from a Book of Hours: Annunciation, Nativity and Two Prophets

Master of Riccardiana 231

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a colorful illustration from a book. In the center, an arched gold frame contains a scene of an angel kneeling to the left and a woman in a blue dress to the right; both have gold halos. The border features a floral pattern with pink flowers and green leaves on a white background with black circles. Various images are interspersed throughout the border: a peacock at the top; two urns with flames, surrounded by winged nude figures; and three circular scenes at the bottom. The bottom-left circular scene shows a woman with wings; the bottom-center scene depicts a manger scene; and the bottom-right scene shows an older man with a long white beard.
