Master of the Brussels Initials and Associates

The image shows an illuminated manuscript page with a central column of text surrounded by decorative elements. The text is written in black ink in a Gothic script and appears to be in Latin. The column of text has a large, ornate capital letter at the top and is bordered on either side by vertical strips with geometric patterns in red, blue, pink, and yellow. The page is framed by a border of floral motifs, leaves, and birds. Some of the leaves and flowers are colored green and gold. A figure in a brown hooded cloak sits on the left side of the page. The figure holds a book and faces the text. A red dragon-like creature with a long tail and a blue and green wing is at the bottom right. The dragon-like creature appears to be biting its own tail and is surrounded by more floral motifs. The background of the page is yellowed parchment. The image includes the number 242 in the upper-left corner. The edge of the page on the right appears to be bound. The background behind the page is black.
