Description:
|
Illustrated: decorated border divided into fields by a series of gold arches. At the bottom is a gold table on which there is a peacock investigating a pot of flowers. Other openings are filled with jewels or fruits, or a gold vase. The picture itself (which may originally stood before Obsecro te) shows a tent with the Virgin and Child sat in it. There are two angels in gold-coloured robes: one holds back the hanging of the tent while the other kneels with a book. Behind the tent are a brick wall, trees and birds in the sky.
