National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of an illuminated manuscript page. The page features two distinct scenes enclosed in ornate, colorful square frames alongside the script. One scene depicts a group of figures in an indoor setting. The other scene features a group of figures in an outdoor setting, where a man carrying a staff leads a woman and a child. The text is written in a gothic script with alternating colors of black and red, and blue initials adorned with gold leaf.
