Printed Book of Hours (Use of Rome): fol. 90r, St. Bridget in Prayer before an Apparition of Christ

The image shows an open book with a colorful illustration and text. The illustration depicts a woman in a dark hooded robe, kneeling on one knee on green grass, holding an open book; a blue hat lies beside her on the ground. Above her, a man in a white loincloth stands on an orange background with a blue cloud-like border; he has long hair and a halo with five rays, and a red wound on his side. The illustration is framed by an ornate archway with columns and a carved frame; the frame has a sign with red text that reads "Saintebrygde". The book's pages are yellowed, and the text is written in black calligraphy. The text is divided into two sections, with the top section having a decorative initial letter. The overall style of the illustration and text suggests it is from the medieval period.
