Miniature from a manuscript
A miniature painted around 1420 by the Master of Trinity College Ms. B.11.7, held by the J. Paul Getty Museum, likely made for a manuscript reader of the courtly elite. The picture shows a gold-ground scene of richly robed figures in blue and red gathered around an elderly man in a hooded gesture of grief or counsel, set on a green grass field. A designer could take its flat gold background, layered jewel-toned drapery, and gestural faces as a model for medieval-style illumination.
