Master of the Brussels Initials and Associates

The image displays a vibrant, ornate page from a medieval manuscript. The aged, light-colored parchment features intricate illustrations and text. The page contains a central portrait of a woman. A gold border surrounds her portrait, which is encircled in blue. The woman depicted wears a blue dress and a white fur shawl over her left shoulder. The text on the page, written in Latin, occupies the top-right section. It includes several lines of calligraphy in brown ink and one line in red ink. The edges of the text and portrait areas are decorated with a floral motif in blue, yellow and red. A repeating pattern of small birds and flowers borders the top and bottom. The bottom features two illustrations: a green-clad figure on a pink horse and another figure on a blue horse. The top displays a similar design and a blue circular motif with a face. The right side of the image reveals another page, while the left bears a brass clasp and the edge of the book's cover. The book rests on a gray surface.
