Leaf Excised from a Book of Hours: Angel with a Banderole within a Flourished Border (Prayer to the Holy Trinity)

Workshop of the Convent of St. Agnes

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a page from a book with a decorative border and text. The page is filled with black text in a medieval style. The text is surrounded by a decorative border that features red and blue swirling patterns, including flowers and leaves. The border is thick and ornate, with a large initial letter on the left side that is blue and red. On the right side of the border, there is a small illustration of a man in white clothing holding a scroll. The man has long brown hair and a halo. The background of the page is off-white and aged. The page appears to be yellowed with age and has a rough texture. The decorative border at the top and bottom is similar to the sides but with a more intricate design. The illustration on the right appears to be an angel.
