Leaf from a Book of Hours: Adoration of the Magi

Master of Thomas Hoo

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a colorful illustration of a scene from the Bible. The scene depicts a group of men in robes and crowns gathered around a baby lying on a red cushion. One man in a blue robe and gold crown kneels to the left of the baby, while another man in a blue robe and gold crown stands to the right. A third man in a green robe and gold crown stands behind the kneeling man. A fourth man in a pink robe and gold crown stands to the right. The baby is naked and has a halo. The group is under a brown structure with a triangular roof. The scene is framed by an ornate border with blue, green, red, and gold floral designs on a white background. The border has a thin gold line around the edge. There is a decorative initial and some text in black calligraphy at the bottom of the page. The page has a beige background with some discoloration and wear around the edges.
