Master of the Boqueteaux

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open, illuminated manuscript with two pages. The pages are yellowed and have a worn, aged appearance. The pages contain text written in Latin, in black ink, with some words highlighted in red. The text is arranged in columns, with intricate borders around the edges of the pages, featuring blue, red, and gold designs, including stars and foliage. A large, decorative letter is on the left page, with a painting below it, depicting the Coronation of the Virgin. The painting shows the Virgin Mary being crowned by Christ. Both figures wear long, flowing robes and have halos around their heads. The background of the painting is brown. Smaller decorative letters and designs are throughout the pages. The pages have a dark background behind them.
