Printed Book of Hours (Use of Rome): fol. 109r, Mary Magdalene

Guillaume Le Rouge

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a woman with long, reddish-blonde hair and a halo, wearing a blue dress with gold designs and a gray and gold shawl. She stands on a dirt path in a field with green and yellow grass, and a blue sky with clouds and a distant castle or building. The woman holds an open book in her hands. A decorative border surrounds the image, with a red and gold frame, and a green and orange pillar on the right side. The border is adorned with intricate carvings at the top and bottom. Below the image, there is a block of text in black and red ink, written in a language that appears to be Latin. The text is divided into sections with decorative letters and symbols. The overall style of the image suggests it is a medieval manuscript illustration. The image is set against a beige background that resembles aged paper. The top of the frame has a white banner with red text.
