Leaf from a Book of Hours: Coronation of the Virgin

Guillaume Vrelant

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a medieval-style illustration of a scene with a woman and a man seated on a bench. The woman on the left has long blonde hair and wears a long gray dress. She faces the man on her right, who has a long white beard and wears a crown and a long gray robe. He holds a small orb in his left hand. Above them, an angel with white wings and a halo holds a crown over the woman's head. The background features a blue sky with gold stars and red flames. The illustration is framed by an archway and surrounded by a border with a floral pattern, featuring blue, red, green, and gold colors. A brown lion-like creature wearing a blue cape is on the left side of the border. The overall design suggests a scene from a religious text, likely a Book of Hours.
