Master of the Boqueteaux

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with two facing pages. The pages are off-white and filled with black text in a language that appears to be Latin. The text is written in a medieval script and is arranged in columns. The left page has a large, ornate initial letter "S" at the top of the first column, and a smaller initial letter "P" below it. There are also several smaller decorative letters and illustrations throughout the page. The right page has a similar layout, with a large blank space in the center of the page. The pages are decorated with intricate borders of vines and flowers, and there is a large illustration in the center of the left page depicting a person kneeling in prayer. The book has a brown leather binding and is set against a dark background.
